AADL Seed Sampler partners with local seed organizations to provide our patrons and residents of Washtenaw County with starter packs of seed to promote gardening knowledge and experience. This program is designed to provide beginner gardeners with supplies and information. Quantities are designed to introduce gardeners to new varieties in small batches.
We have run out of our Fall 2024 Great Lakes Native Seeds! We'll see you in the spring!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Ready to plant some native wildflowers and increase biodiversity? Excellent!
Head to your favorite AADL location, where you'll find Seed Sampler stations. Pick up one of our Great Lakes Native seed bundles for the Fall 2024-Winter 2025 season, no need to check out or place an order! All bundles are the same and include 14 varieties of native wildflowers with a local genotype sourced from Michigan Wildflower Farm.

Planting information can be found on each seed packet, or you can check out our catalog for more detailed planting instructions. After that, it's all about having fun in your garden!
