Join us on one of many stops on the 2026 Spring Seedling Giveaway Tour! This stop will be a seedling giveaway and seed swap at the Prince George’s Soil Conservation District headquarters in Upper Marlboro (address below) and we’ll be joined by an arrange of exhibitors!

Urban Farmer and Master Gardener, Linda Jones of Elements of Nature, will facilitate the seed swap, so please bring seeds to share! Linda will also present “Seed Snails  – Hype or  Hope for Getting Seeds and Transplants Started and Ready to Roll” at 11:00 am. Here’s a quote from Linda herself:

“Seed snails are a trending global growing best-practice technique currently being used by gardeners and growers all over the world to plant seeds and grow transplants. If you are a serious gardener and you want to grow more using less space, less time and less resources, recycle and re-use seed starting supplies, then this is for you. Come out and join us as we do a hands-on demonstration on how to make seed snails for your home garden or farm. You won’t be disappointed. Let’s get ready to roll. Hope to see you there.”

Maryland-National Capital Park & Planning Commission’s (M-NCPPC) Parks Department grew the seedlings at Randall Farm and will chat about their food and agricultural initiatives in Prince George’s County. Their beekeeper will bring a mobile hive and resources on bees and beekeeping. You’ll also have the opportunity to meet the Planning Department’s new Food Systems Planner and share your vision for what food and agriculture should look like in the County.

You’ll also hear both fresh and seasoned sounds for growers by DJ C-Nile!

Lastly, The Capital Market will send you off with a delicious bike-powered smoothie (the sweat is worth it!) and inspiration to get involved in your local food system.

Interested in trying to grow your own food? Join the Prince George’s Soil Conservation District at one of the stops on its Spring Seedling Giveaway Tour! These heirloom seedlings are started from seeds produced by the Ujamaa Cooperative Farming Alliance and grown by the awesome staff of one of our valued partners, Maryland-National Capital Parks & Planning Commission’s Randall Farm.
