“Starting Seeds
& “Seed Swap” at Library
Because of winter weather the Greenville Public Library had to postpone
its February 19th event “Starting Seeds” by Edward Flora from Richland
Gardens. Edward will now be at the Library on Thursday March 12th
at 6:30 pm. Don’t miss this informative, informal, and
educational session in the 3rd floor Meeting Room.
At the same time there will be a “seed swap!” Bring your extra
seeds and trade them for something you need or have been wanting to
try. Remember, these are heirloom, open-pollinated seeds that
grow year after year - no hybrids or GMO’s allowed.
These programs are part of the Growing Harvest Seed Library. Librarian
Rachel Brock started the Seed Library last year with 29 members and
hopes for a big increase this year. The idea is to borrow seeds, plant
them, and return a few from your harvest to the Library for next year.
She explains the program needs to become self-sustaining with local
seeds because they will have adapted to our climate and soil.
Come and get some great sowing ideas and new seeds! Refreshments
will be served.
