Join Ozark Wild Ones for the 4th Annual Native Seed Swap!

Ozark Wild Ones is thrilled to partner once again with the Bentonville Public Library to host this beloved community event celebrating native plants and biodiversity.

Free and open to everyone—no registration required!

Date & Time:
Doors open at 2:00 PM for the general public. If you're bringing seeds or you're a Wild Ones member, you're welcome to enter early at 1:30 PM to set up and get first pick!

Location:
Community Room at the Bentonville Public Library,

What to Expect:
Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just getting started, the Native Seed Swap is a fantastic opportunity to expand your garden with locally adapted native plants.
• No seeds required to participate! Come browse and take home seeds for free!
• Have seeds to share? Bring them along in labeled containers (small envelopes work great).
• Only native plant species, please. Be mindful when collecting. Always get permission if it's not your property, and leave plenty for wildlife and natural reseeding.

Seed Labeling Guidelines:
All containers should be clearly marked with:
• Common name
• Scientific name (genus and species)

Want early access to seeds? Members of Wild Ones get first dibs at 1:30 PM.

Let’s grow a more resilient and beautiful ecosystem—one seed at a time!
