Somers Seed Lending Library:  A Community Heirloom Seed Lending Project:

Somers Seed Lending Library is a free community heirloom seed lending project, demonstrating that libraries check out more than books! The idea is simple. Growers get enough seed to grow 3-4 plants from the seed catalog located behind the Reference Desk, record what they are taking with them as well as basic contact information for later in the season. Then they grow their plants during the season. At the end of the growing season for that plant, the grower harvests as usual, but saves some of the seed for next season, and returns a portion, usually 2-3 times the starting amount (or more) to the seed library to continue the cycle.

Please choose five varieties and a couple of replacement alternates. Please do not come to the library before we get the chance to get the orders ready.  We will gather your choices and then contact you to arrange pick up.  Seeds must be picked up within a week from when you are notified that the seed order is ready.
