Join your neighbors for Napa Valley Seed Day and turn bare ground into green and flowering fields this winter.
Napa Valley Seed Day is a countywide effort to turn fallowed vineyards into native grasslands and flowering habitat, support pollinators, protect soils, and bring our farming community together.
This is a real-time pilot project organized by a coalition of Napa Valley winegrowing, conservation, and public organizations to address an immediate seasonal need to protect our lands in transition. We will continue working together to galvanize a cohesive strategy for fallowed acres for future seasons.
Who can participate?
If you have recently fallowed vineyard land or bare or partially covered ground, you’re invited to participate, whether your property is large or small.
Why native seeds? Our California native grass and wildflower mix is designed to provide pollen and nectar for bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects while helping stabilize soils, reduce erosion, and support long-term biodiversity.
Together, we can transform fallowed vineyards into green and flowering fields and demonstrate Napa Valley’s commitment to caring for its land.
Participating Organizations:
Land Trust of Napa County, Napa County Agricultural Commissioner’s Office, Napa Farm Bureau, Napa Green, Napa Resource Conservation District, Napa Valley Grapegrowers, Napa Valley Vintners, UC Cooperative Extension, and Winegrowers of Napa County.
