Spring is right around the corner! Seed catalogs arrive every day! Library volunteer, Leslie Thomas, has been working diligently to collect seeds from companies and trade with local gardeners.  As a result, the Seed Library is well stocked with hardy varieties and wonderful heirlooms.

• link to full list (includes herbs and flowers)

Borrow from our seed collection or donate your extra seed.  Grow your own food: increase the region's food security.

By saving seeds as a community we help create local seed stocks that are better acclimated to our unique climate and which support an abundant and genetically diverse landscape.
