Seasonal Birdseed Sales
Seasonal birdseed sales offer special discounts several times a year. Schuylkill Center members receive 20% off birdseed at the sales, and non-members receive 10% off.
We ask that you place an order in advance and then pick up your order on the day of the sale, so that we can guarantee that we have the quantity of seed you request. For advance notice of seed sales, sign up for our birdseed mailing list by emailing Michelle Havens, Gift Shop Manager, at mhavens@schuylkillcenter.org.
