Seed Library and Exchange
A seed library is a place where gardeners “borrow” seeds from the library at planting time. At the end of the growing season, they save seeds from the plants and return a portion of the seeds to the library.
- Pick up your free seed packets at the West Acton Citizens’ Library.
- Take them home and grow them in your garden.
- Harvest seeds from produce and thoroughly air dry them.
- Place them in the envelopes provided, label and return to the library so others can grow them next year.
