Free Seeds for Schools!

Spring is here! We all deserve a pat on the back for making it through yet another winter. 

This spring, we will celebrate the 51st anniversary of Earth Day 🌎 on Wednesday, April 21. Like every special day, this one also has a theme -- "Restore our Earth".  

AEA Purchasing is pleased to share a unique opportunity for Iowa schools wishing to connect their students, faculty and staff to caring for our planet and getting involved in spring planting. 

If you haven't already become familiar with your local Iowa State University (ISU) Extension Office, we encourage you to do so. This year they have all kinds of ideas and resources to help you plan your Earth Day celebrations. One such opportunity available just for schools is the chance to receive FREE SEEDS from the Seed Savers Exchange, located in Decorah, IA. Schools interested in receiving seed donations through the Herman's Garden Seed Donation Program do need to submit an application. More information is available here.
