Interested in growing your own food? Want to get into gardening? Join us for the opening day of the Seed Library at Fenwick Library!

The Seed Library is a Patriot Green Fund project meant to encourage gardening and growing your own food at home. Patrons take seeds from the library, grow them, then harvest, dry, and return the seeds.

Seed libraries have quickly grown in popularity around the country, being found in public libraries, community centers, community gardens, makerspaces, and university libraries. The concept of the seed library model is that the library is stocked with seeds, which patrons take, grow, and then return seeds to the library. The emphasis, however, is on the taking and growing of seeds and less on the drying and returning, given the experience of other seed libraries. They promote growing your own food, wellbeing, community, and learning in a hands-on way.
