Seed Swap at
Library
The Growing Harvest Seed Library is hosting its annual “Seeds 4 All:
Seed Swap” on Thursday February 1st in the upstairs meeting room at the
Greenville Public Library. This year special guest speaker
Sam Custer, Extension Educator of the Agriculture & Natural
Resources department at the OSU Extension Office of Darke County, will
be presenting The Art of Seed Saving following the Seed Swap.
Sam will be discussing the preparations to consider when saving seeds.
Topics include types of seeds and how they are pollinated, time of seed
bearing, open-pollinated versus hybrid seeds, and harvesting and
processing seeds.
Seed swapping will take place from 5-6 pm and 7-8 pm, with the
presentation running from 6-7 pm. If you are participating in the
seed swap please make sure that seeds are clean and clearly labeled
with type (eg. tomato) and variety (eg. brandywine). Packaging of seeds
can vary. Any seed left will be inventoried into the Growing Harvest
Seed Library.
Everyone is welcome to attend this free event. Reservations are not
required but helpful for set-up. As always refreshments will be
served. For more information please call 548-3915 or visit the
Library’s Facebook Event Page. This is a fun and informal event
so be sure to come and have a good time getting ready for spring
planting!
