SUMMARY:Seed Library Launch
DESCRIPTION:Seed Library Launch \nThe Sidney/North Saanich branch is launching a new seed library where community members can access free vegetable and flower seeds.  Thank you to West Coast Seeds for their generous seed donation! \nEmily Harris\, Executive Director of Sandown Centre for Regenerative Agriculture\, will help us launch the seed library.  She will talk about the Sandown Centre\, their gardening course and community gardens.  Emily will share seed starting tips and demonstrate how to plant seeds. \n  \nWhat’s a seed library?   \nA seed library is a collection of vegetable and flower seeds that community members may access to plant in their own gardens and planters. \nWhy is the Sidney/North Saanich branch launching a seed library? \nWe want to help make growing seeds accessible to everyone\, to raise awareness about library books and resources about gardening and growing seeds\, and to encourage food security. \nWhen will the seed library be available? \nThe seed library will be available at the end of the launch event on April 14\, and then any time during library open hours.  People can take up to 3 seed packets per visit. \nHow will the seed library keep going?  \nWe welcome seed donations! \nPeople may collect seeds at harvest time for their own use and to donate to the seed library.  New to collecting seeds?  The library has some great resources linked here to get you started. \nWe will also gladly accept donations of unused or partially used seed packets dated within the last 3 years.
