"Join us for our annual seed swap! Bring seeds to share if you have them, but feel free to come even if you don't have any - we'll have plenty to share. We'll also have seed starting calendars and gardening books to lend. Scott Vlaun will give a short presentation about seed saving basics, and as a community, we’ll discuss starting a local seed library. We’ll also have some #scions to swap and offer a tutorial on #grafting onto #rootstock." |

#SeedLibraries Are Sprouting Up Around the Pine Tree State
#Maine libraries have added seed “borrowing” to their growing list of resources.
By Nora Saks, Downeast Magazine, April 2024
"Among the study tables and the stacks of books and the periodical reading rooms, at public libraries from North Berwick to Milbridge to Bangor, seeds have suddenly taken root in the catalog — often quite literally, with the drawers of stately old card catalogs now used for little packets of vegetable, herb, and flower seeds. Whether green-thumbed or plain old green, anyone can drop by for some free garden fodder, which is usually donated by community members, Maine seed companies (like #Johnnys and #Fedco), and garden centers.
"Seed libraries took off early in the pandemic, as many people turned their attention to tending their homes and gardens. Now, libraries tend to pair seed lending with how-to programming, often in partnership with local garden clubs. Some libraries also encourage 'borrowers' to save seeds from their crop and then drop them off at the end of the growing season, but that’s not a requirement (and there are no late fees).
"Lisa Ladd, director of Bucksport’s Buck Memorial Library, sees seeds fitting nicely into libraries’ broader mission to make knowledge and resources accessible to the public. 'As libraries continue to evolve, we’re always looking for ways to meet the community outside of our walls and offer programs that touch different ages and all walks of life...'"
