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.

Let's write!
If you have ever thought, pondered, dreamt, or deliberated about writing, this club is for you. Together we will explore the world of writing through conversation, brainstorming, sharing, and each meeting we will end with a writing prompt to take home and explore. This is the perfect opportunity to step out of the wishing phase and into your writing era. All you need to bring is a notebook and your imagination. See you at the library.
