Missoula has a surprisingly active gardening community, and there’s something happening for plant people most months of the growing season. This page collects our monthly roundups of local plant swaps, nursery events, gardening workshops, and community garden happenings in Missoula.
Missoula’s gardening season runs roughly from March through October, and the events follow that rhythm. Early spring brings plant swaps and seed exchanges as people clear out their seed stashes and start planning. Late spring is when local nurseries and the Missoula Farmers Market ramp up, and the growing season kicks off in earnest around Memorial Day. Summer brings workshops on everything from composting to pest management. Fall is harvest time, and often a second round of seed saving and plant swaps before things wind down for winter.
Most events in Missoula are organized through a handful of consistent venues and groups: the Missoula Farmers Market, local nurseries, the Missoula County MSU Extension office, and community organizations focused on food security and urban gardening. We track these sources each month and pull together the highlights so you don’t have to.
We update this each month as new events come up. Bookmark it and check back.
