On Sunday, May 31st, Underhill Seedsitters and friends gathered in Sayeh’s backyard to pot up seedlings and exchange them with others to get new varieties. We also had a chance to look at plants blooming in Sayeh’s garden as well as socialize over treats brought in by members.

First session (L-R) Liz, Sheri, Marjan, Anthony, Sayeh, Anca and Maudie
Second session (L-R) Lawrence, Marjan, Shannon, Catherine, Sayeh, Veronica, Luna, Anthony, Maya, Maia and Nancy
Third session (L-R) Yvonne, Sayeh, Danielle, Anthony, Cara, Anfin, Maliha, Shelby, Madiha and Micah.
Thanks to Maia, Sayeh had a bounty of pawpaw seedling that she had been growing, and also super-tall (17″ deep) pots for the super-long taproot that pawpaws have. Everyone got a chance to pot up a Pawpaw seedling to take home if they wanted.

Hello,

I’m Sayeh

I started this group in 2021 and it has grown to become a community of friends. Take a look at some of what our merry group has accomplished together.

Every year I open up registration to a new cohort and our next registration will take place in January 2026.
