Wylie House historic garden seeds on sale March 7

Margaret Wylie

Wylie House Museum will usher in the new gardening season on Saturday, March 7, with the annual Wylie House seed sale from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visitors to the seed sale can choose from 34 historic varieties of flower, herb and vegetable seeds -- all grown by safe and natural methods in the Wylie House Museum garden and germination-tested to ensure viability.

A seed swap table will give local seed-savers an opportunity to exchange free seeds from their own gardens. And a resource area with information on seed-saving and heirloom gardening will prove helpful to beginning gardeners and veterans alike.

Wylie House was built in 1835 as the home of Indiana University's first president, Andrew Wylie. Today it is a museum re-creating the early Wylie home. Free guided tours are offered Tuesday through Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m., March through November.

Wylie House is located at 307 E. 2nd St. in Bloomington. The first floor is handicap accessible from the drive just east of the house.
