Heirloom Seed Library

by Kirsten | Mar 3, 2021 | Adults

We’re happy to be offering heirloom garden seeds to our patrons once again! This year we have FULL SIZED packets available. Our request – 3 packets per family.

We ask that in return for taking garden seeds that you do 3 things:

1. Plant the seeds
2. Explore other gardening resources from our library including books & databases
   • Gale Courses offers several gardening & food preservation classes
   • Use your produce and explore a new recipe from A to Z World Food or A to Z Food America
   • Place holds on gardening and food preservation books through the SHARE catalog
