VISIT THE NEW SEED LIBRARY PAGE HERE: ypl.org/growharvestfeast
We've repurposed our old card catalogs to be dispensers of flower, herb and plant seed packets. Find them on the main floor at Crestwood, the Fine Arts section of the Will Library, or on the third floor at Riverfront! Get them while supplies last.
How It Works:
- BORROW: Take up to four (4) seed packets of either vegetables, herbs and/or flowers. Follow the packet’s planting instructions.
- GROW: Plant seeds in your garden. Please take photos of your sprouting seeds and tag us in any photos you upload and use the hashtag #yplseedlibrary.
- SHARE: Harvest seeds from your herbs and vegetables and return new seeds to the library. This is optional and not a requirement to participate in the program.
