The Seedy Saturday team is thinking of adding a Seed Library as an ongoing part of our Community Gardening and Food Security efforts. A seed library allows community members to aquire seeds for gardening, encouraging self-sufficiency and biodiversity. Participants grow their own food, save seeds from their harvest, and return them to the library for others to use. This initiative supports local food security by fostering sustainable gardening practices, especially in communities where access to quality seeds might be limited.
Resources Required:
Granges will need a dedicated storage space for seeds, such as cabinets or containers for organization. Volunteers with gardening experience can assist with seed collection, sorting, and organizing. Granges can partner with local garden clubs, seed companies, or farmers to acquire seeds in addition to the seeds the Grange holds from Seedy Saturday. Our weekly Garden Gatherings will offer education about seed saving, gardening techniques and food preservation.
