The 2010 Spring Propagation Fair will be held in the Student Cafeteria at LCC and consists of two parts: a free exchange of fruit-tree cuttings (called ‘scions’) and a free exchange of vegetable seed. You don’t have to bring any scion or seed to the event to be able to attend and share freely in the bounty. All are welcome. This is a free, volunteer-driven event designed to support home orchardists and vegetable gardeners
in and around the S. Willamette Valley.
The 2010 Fair marks the first occasion of a joint scion-exchange and seed-swap in our bioregion, and is co-sponsored by a broad array of local, non-profit and volunteer groups including: the Eugene Permaculture Guild, the Seed Ambassadors Project, Lane Community College Garden Club, Victory Gardens For All, the School Garden Project of Lane County, Huerto de la Famila, ECOS, the Springfield Transitions Garden, Food Not Lawns, the Gardens Program of Food for Lane County, the Urban Farm Program of the U of O, and the OSU Extension Service in Lane County.
A great variety of scions, and vegetable seed, will be provided free of charge by local fruit enthusiasts and seed-savers at the exchange. Rootstocks will be available for a nominal fee. Grafting assistance and workshops will be provided at and around the Propagation Fair.
Bus service to LCC is available from Eugene Station.
Free parking is available at LCC.
Spanish-language support will be offered.

There will be a plant swap on Sunday, April 11, at the corner of 25th and Emerald in the Amazon neighborhood (2489 Emerald St. in the driveway). All are welcome. Bring your extra perennials, seeds, starts, whatever – even indoor plants and garden tools! No money is exchanged. Come meet your neighbors and take home new plants.
There are always plenty of plants, so come take some home even if you have none to bring! Hours: 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
One of my instructors attended your fair. She mentioned that workshops included winter gardening. I live in Colorado at an altitude of 6600 feet and find that traditional summer gardens fail here more often than not. Is there anyway I can get the information that was provided in the winter gardening workshop? I miss having a thriving garden soooo much!
Hi Cendi,
Thanks for you inquiry. The people who did that workshop came from Seed Ambassadors (Andrew and Sarah Kleeger)…very nice people. They can be reached at http://www.seedambassadors.org.
Best luck!
