Seed Donations
Needed
Our seed catalog is getting empty!
We are asking for any vegetable or herb seed donations. Donations should be labeled with the veggie/herb name, info on the donor so we can contact them if we need to, and where the seed came from (seed company or store where they bought the plant, for example). You may drop the donations off at the seed library cabinet.
