Join the Cool Beans Seed Saving and Sharing Project.
Be a Cool Beans Pen Pal!

Here’s how it works: 
1. Fill out our Application Here and choose which variety of beautiful bean you would like to plant this May.
​
2. We will send you the beans after April 27th. Download the Cool Beans Activity Guide with information on seed saving, seed books, and lesson plans.

​3. You and your class will plant the beans during the month of May and harvest them when you return this fall. 
​​
4. We will connect you with another school that grew a different bean so your students can exchange beans and become Cool Beans Pen Pals!  You and your students can share the joy of gardening and seed saving with schools across Sonoma County!
Email [email protected] with any questions.
