SUPPORT SEED LIBRARIES – START ONE IN YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY!

Richmond Seed Library, Richmond, California

Seed libraries are sprouting all over the country. These fantastic resources encourage gardeners of all ages and abilities, from rural to urban areas, to ‘check out’ seed at no cost. At the end of the growing season, library members simply ‘check back in’ seeds from their harvest. Seed inventory ranges by location, but edible plants are the focus. To find a seed library near you, do a Web search of your state’s public libraries. Some other potential sources for locating libraries include http://www.seedlibrarian.com/ and http://www.seedsoftimemovie.com/findseedlibraries.
