What is the Seed Library? It is a great opportunity to acquire new varieties, save money, and reduce seed waste while connecting with fellow gardeners. You can take part in the Seed Library by visiting Miller Branch on select dates. While the Seed Library won’t be open on January 25th, you are welcome to visit it on one of the other open dates: https://howardcounty.librarycalendar.com/events/upcoming?keywords=Seed%20Library
You do not have to bring any seeds to participate in the Seed Drive. All ages and experience levels welcome, from those who have never gardened but would like to those who have grown flowers and veggies for years. Families welcome (children must be accompanied).
Both seeds harvested from your garden and seed packets are welcome. New to seed harvesting? Find advice at https://hclibrary.org/seed-drive/
