Tilth Alliance's May Edible Plant Sale

Enjoy life's simple pleasures – grow food!

Shop our Edible Plant Sale and choose from the largest selection of organically, sustainably and locally grown vegetable plant starts in the Puget Sound region! This year we're excited to offer even more new varieties to add to your growing garden.

Plants offered at the Edible Plant Sale are the best varieties to grow successfully in our Pacific Northwest climate. You’ll find an amazing selection of tantalizing fruits and veggies to choose from, as well as culinary herbs, edible flowers, pollinator plants, and even gardening supplies that will help maximize your harvest all year round.

Please be aware that we may not have all of the listed varieties at the 2021 Edible Plant Sale. Occasionally, the growers will experience a crop failure or the plants will be too small to sell. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
