Derby Public Library's Seed Library is in full bloom! This program has been going for a little over a full moth now and we are so glad to see so many people borrowing seeds for their own gardens! Here are some picture from our own Community Garden! Show us what you've been growing in yours!

"Spinach is ready! I pulled some radishes that are looking great from the strawberry patch. The strawberries are coming!!! I put some little strawberry stands under them to help keep the berries out of the dirt and make them easier to see. I also planted laundry hamper potatoes! Everything is growing well so far!"- Head Community Garden Volunteer, Mary Strickland.
