🪴Local Gardeners:🪴
Are you harvesting seeds from your garden this season?
Consider sharing some of your garden magic with the Little Free Seed Library!

The seed library is in need of produce, herb, and flower seeds that have been collected this season (or within the past year) and that grow true-to-type. No hybrid seeds, please.

How to donate:
* Clean and thoroughly dry seeds
* Place enough seeds for one grower to try in each envelope
* Label each envelope with the plant type/variety, date or year of harvest, and any growing instructions
*Drop off at the library any time

We have plenty of small paper envelopes available at the library.

Thank you for helping the seed library bloom!🌼
