How does your garden grow? Three places to get free seeds in Albuquerque
Gardens don't have to be expensive — there are several places around town offering free seeds.
Whether you have seeds you want to trade, or need some to get started, these events and organizations are ready to help.
To compile this list, I sorted through pages of events on Google and social media in search of garden resources around Albuquerque.
Whether you have seeds or art supplies you don't need anymore, or need to get your hands on some, come and join the swap at the South Broadway Library. Even those without art supplies or seeds to share can come and participate.
