Ballard Sprouts

First started in 2012, Ballard Sprouts ran for 12 years out of a SW Ballard greenhouse, growing and feeding our community! In 2025 we are re-starting with a new greenhouse location and a new group of volunteer gardeners who plant vegetable seeds, transplant the sprouts and grow them to starts and then provide the Ballard Food Bank and Seattle giving gardeners with vegetable plants.  

Sprouts volunteers contribute an hour of their time each week plus the occasional work party from February to May to plant seeds, transplant, fertilize and harden off the plants. Volunteers can work together or work alone at a small Ballard Greenhouse.  It is peaceful, quiet, a wonderful place to dream of spring and watch seeds come to life.

If you are interested in volunteering in 2025 and beyond, please contact Jenny for more information or to express interest.
