Fairfield Library is doing a seed-lending program. The idea is that you "borrow" heirloom seeds from the library, sow and grow them, benefit from the veggies and green, then preserve seeds from the plants. In the fall, you bring the preserved seeds back and return them to the library. How cool is that?!?!
There are two related events happening at the Library on the 13th and 16th. Check out their website for more details. The program is sponsored by the Fairfield Woods Branch Library and the Fairfield Organic Teaching Farm. Funding for program is provided by Fairfield Earth Day Committee. Seeds were donated by Bakers Creek and Comstock Seeds.
Hopefully this is a trend that will catch on and spread to libraries everywhere!
