Heirloom Seed
Donations at Library
The Greenville Public Library's “Growing Harvest Seed Library” has
gotten off to a great start this summer! Now the time has come to
replenish the heirloom seed supply for next year and below are a few
guidelines.
If patrons have borrowed seeds, they are not obligated to donate seeds.
However donations are appreciated to keep the Seed Library
self-sustaining. Returning twice the amount borrowed would be
ideal, eg. if 1 tbs. return 2 tbs. Make sure the seeds are dry and
clean of particles prior to donating.
When donating borrowed or self-grown seeds, please include the name of
plant, variety of plant, year harvested, and location of harvest.
Pre-made envelopes are available at the seed library, but seeds can be
donated in whatever bags patrons have available as long as bags are
labeled.
Please complete a participation form (unless patrons have already
completed one earlier) at the Reference Desk. Commercial seeds can be
donated as long as they are not GMO. They must be heirloom or
open-pollinated. Heirloom/open-pollinated seeds can also be purchased
online @ Seed Savers Exchange and Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds.
