Seed and Plant Cutting Library

"A seed library is a place where community members can get seeds for free or for a nominal fee and is run for the public benefit. Many seed libraries are open in public libraries and community centers. For some communities, getting folks to garden and grow some of their own food is the focus. For other communities, seed libraries may be created as an important step to develop a network of seed savers, to create locally adapted varieties, to respond proactively to climate change or loss of gene integrity due to GMOs  or to preserve genetic diversity. Seed saving is something humans have done for over 10,000 years. Rejoin the ritual and start to save seed and share the abundance in your community.. " - Seed Library Network

From May through July, come by the Bessemer Public Library to grab seeds or a new plant cutting for your home garden! We have a variety to choose from, as well as basic materials and instructions to get you started. We also have information on saving seeds to donate to our new little green library and you can also donate plant cuttings from your home plants!
