What is a Seed Lending Library?
|
Borrow. Grow. Return.
Choose some free seeds to take home and plant. Enjoy your fresh herbs, vegetables and flowers. After your harvest, please bring some seeds back to the Library, if you can, for others to enjoy next year. There are no over due fees!!!!! :) |
Thank you Marshall Family for the amazing sunflower heads!!

Fall is Here!!!
As you are harvesting your garden, please keep some seeds for the library. They will be in the fruit or vegetable, or under the spent flower. Have a look at my seed tip page please for some examples. I have seed library locations at the Centre 2000 library in Erin, The new Hillsburgh Library, The Shelburne Library, and Wastewise in Georgetown. Any of them should accept seed donations for me to repack for the spring. |

Where is the Library?
|
With thanks to Wellington County, the seed library has a self serve station at the Erin public library at centre 2000. It is currently on the window sill.
I am also supplying boxes at the new Hillsburgh library, the Shelburne library and I think there are still some at Wastewise in Georgetown. I will make that one better in 2020. If you have any questions or requests, please e-mail me. Thank you very much! Hi!
Erin Seed Lending Library opened for 2019 at Erin Seedy Saturday which was March 23rd this year. My goal with the Seed Library is to get more people to grow some food for themselves, try something new, grow something with your kids. Get your hands in the dirt. There might be one less truck load of cherry tomatoes driving up from Mexico this fall. Borrow, Grow, Return. You can do it!!! It is free. Choose some seeds of something you would like to grow. Grow some delicious fruit, veggies, herbs, or beautiful flowers. In the fall, bring some seeds back to the library from what you grew or from something else. Seeds are very easy to find if you look for them. They are inside the fruit, or under the spent flower head. See some seed finding tips on the Seed Tip tab. After the launch, the seed library will be located within the Centre 2000 book library, on the window sill. There are also boxes that I refill at the new Hillsburgh library, the Shelburne library, and Wastewise in Georgetown. Thank you very much. Jen |
