Originally a vegetable and flower farm, the family eventually sold much of the land and now ships in many flowers from throughout the U.S. We are part of the historic “Japanese Flower Farms” of South Phoenix, an area where 7 Japanese American families farmed vegetables and flowers after WWII. The area was a major tourist attraction throughout the 1960s and 1970s because of the many acres of flowers blooming in the desert, just miles from central Phoenix. Today, Baseline Flowers is the last remaining flower shop from that era. Please see their video on their website that tells a bit about their history!

Saving garden seeds is an essential part of gardening. It allows us to preserve plant varieties that do the best in our unique environments. Additionally, saving seeds gives us self-reliance and promotes a local food community as well as long-term food security.

Sharing seeds and cuttings is a time-honored way of connecting one garden to another through a string of friendships, stories, and gatherings.

Come share your seeds or just come home with some. We want to share the bounty of our gardens with each other.

Free Activities include:
• Making Plant Markers
• Painting Garden Signs
• Learning Plant Propagation
• Making Seed Envelopes

We will have the Free Seed Table as well. You can learn all about our exciting organization that you can be a part of to help encourage gardening throughout your neighborhood.

Feel free to contact us for more info.
