On the occasion of International Seed Day (ISD), which coincides this year on Sunday,we will give INEAS members organic seeds for herbs and fast-growing vegetables. 
For INEAS members outside of Massachusetts, seeds will be send via post mail. For members living within 20 miles from Cambridge, we will come on Seed Day, Sunday, April 26to plant the seeds in their balconies or yards .  For those living in areas more than 20 miles from Cambridge, we will schedule an appointment to plant the seeds in their  yard by April 30.
