Edible Plant Sale

There’s lots of activity around Wallingford this weekend: free comics and stormtroopers at the Comic Dungeon, art sale at the Melrose, Nickel and Brass Septet and Seattle Composer’s Salon at the Chapel Performance Space in the Good Shepherd Center and Aqua Dears and Darlings at Green Lake, to name a few.

But the biggest of all is sure to the Seattle Tilth’s Edible Plant Sale:

This event is ideal for beginning or longtime gardeners. Choose from over 50 varieties of tomatoes and 20 varieties of peppers, rare and heirloom veggie varieties, an extensive selection of culinary herbs, edible flowers, and drought tolerant perennials. These plants are hand-selected by the Seattle Tilth experts to perform well in our Pacific Northwest climate.

Not just a sale
Enjoy free presentations on gardening topics by Tilth staff, enjoy delicious food from Patty Pan Grill or Mighty O Donuts, help your kids plant seeds and do other family activities in the Kids Tent, and listen to some fiddle tunes, the Yellow Hat Band, and other music – all in the lower field this year.

Or, check out the compost demos by the Master Composters in the Demonstration Garden.

The photo (by Quixotic Pixels) is from today’s pre-sale for volunteers, but there’s lots left for rest of us. If the weather holds, it’s a bring the kids and picnic blanket kind of day, for sure: Wallingford’s Woodstock. We even got all sappy and blogged about the Fall version, Tilth’s Harvest Fair, for our business blog, Pathable, last year.

(Meridian Park, 4649 Sunnyside Ave. N. Sale opens at 9am on Saturday, May 2nd and goes until 3pm.  On Sunday, May 3rd, the sale re-opens at 11am and closes at 3pm.)
