Seed distribution center — Please use all best practices before sending seeds in the mail. Wash your hands before touching anything you’ll be sending in the mail. Do not mail seeds if you’re feeling sick. Use regular cardboard if possible (the virus is supposed to survive 24 hours on paper, but 72 hours on plastic). We will be doing the packing at a different location, and plan to let boxes sit for a few days to be safe (they can pick it up in the mail even if they don’t pick it up from you). Please also send empty seed packets, misprints, baggies, etc., if you can spare them. Mail bulk seeds to: Coop Gardens, c/o Tim Siftar, 4621 Cedar Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19143
