SEED LIBRARY

 seedlibrarylogo

We have free seeds available to anyone in our area to grow their own food. They're located in the old card catalogs on the far side of the circulation desk. We encourage all who use the seed library to learn basic seed-saving techniques and donate back to the library or to donate packets of fresh seeds to keep the library stocked!

 

We also welcome volunteers to help with the seed library! Please email Ingrid with the subject line: "seed library"
