SEED LIBRARY
We will be starting a Seed Library soon!
What is a seed library? It is a collection of seeds (vegetable, herb, and flower) that patrons are able to borrow in order to plant and grow at home. At the end of the growing season, a portion of the seeds are then returned to the library’s collection.
Why a seed library?
-helps reintroduce patrons to the art of growing food.
-combats hunger insecurity and biodiversity loss.
-encourages experimentation
-a low risk opportunity to try something new
