The 2025 Seed Inventory to Come...

 

SEED UPDATE 12/2024

 

We have had an unfortunate event happen.

At some point ALL and we do mean ALL the seeds in the Library were taken... including our supplies of paper clips, bags, rubber bands, etc.

There are security cameras at the library but nothing recorded this event.  Over 200 bags of seeds were taken.

We are attempting to reconstruct the library with some older seeds that were in storage.  Germination rates might be lower but seeds can remain viable for many years.

HOW CAN YOU HELP

 

  1. If you've grown and saved seeds from the library, please return some of them to the bottom right hand drawer of the cabinet. We will package them, inventory them and place them in the drawers.

  2. If you have extra seed that you are not going to use (either home grown or the leftovers of purchased seed packs) consider donating them to the library.  We are looking for open pollinated varieties (not hybrids). Follow instructions above.

  3. Grow some of the older seeds, enjoy the fruits of your labor, save and return some seeds from those plants.

If you have seeds that you have grown and wish to share, please contact: Kathleenfd@comcast.net  Or Connect with us via Facebook:
