How does your garden grow?

With seeds from your local library!

Several member libraries offer seed libraries to help start your garden. There are a variety of seeds available for you to "check out" for free. Plant what you can, harvest what you grow, and return seeds from your crops later in the year. Seeds are available on a first-come, first served basis while supplies last.
