Andrea Yenssen from the Grey Bruce Community Legal Clinic is coming to Listowel to speak on Elder Law. The first in this series will tackle Powers of Attorney. If something happens to you, for example an accident or illness that impacts your ability to make financial or health care decisions for yourself, you will need someone to make those decisions for you. You should consider having a power of attorney in place, regardless of your age or financial situation. A power of attorney is a legal document that gives someone you trust the right to make financial or health care decisions for you. This trusted person does not have to be a lawyer to be your attorney. Come learn about appointing someone you trust to make important financial and health care decisions on your behalf from a lawyer specializing in Elder Law.

How Does it Work?

Patrons can take up to 5 packets of seeds per visit, this will allow as many people as possible to use this service.

Take your seeds home, plant them and enjoy growing, harvesting and eating your crops. If you wish to save some of your seeds to donate to the Seed Library you can collect them at the end of the growing season or as the plants produce seeds.

How Do You Donate or Return Your Seeds?

Once you have collected seeds from your crop, set some aside for yourself and the library if you wish to return some. You must let your seeds dry before storing them in paper envelops in a cool dry place.

We will accept seeds returned in their original envelop, or an envelope labeled with the following information:

Common Name

Days to Maturity

Year Saved

Location Grown

Drop your seeds off to a staff member any time.

We will also take donations of new packages of seeds including vegetables, herbs, flowers and fruit to help us add to our collection.

For more information, check out our seed lending library pamphlet.
