Update on the local Seed Library (see previous posts in this thread for background)!

We've got official approval to start building it out!

We'll start the official planning, building, and then community awareness initiatives and concurrent programming and training!

Yay free seeds for the town!

Yay free classes on gardening and hydroponics!

Gardening is one thing. Community is another thing entirely.

Build community. Feed each other.

Email states: Regarding Setting up a Seed Library. Hello! I am happy to confirm that our Library Administration approved starting a seed library at the Fredericksburg Branch. Out Adult Services Programmer has expressed interest in starting a seed library previously and she is excited to work with you on this project. I am including our Assistant Branch Manager / Adult Services Department Head in this response so that you may begin planning together. We do feel that we can set this up by next spring in our third floor card catalog. The team is also excellent contacts for any Adult Services Programs that you would hope to plan with the branch. They are currently finalizing Spring 2024 classes and events. Thank you again for reaching out about this excited opportunity. We are looking forward to collaborating with you!

Great news! My library got back to me!

They're interested in building out a seed library as well!!!

YAYAYAYAY!!!!!!

I'm developing some basic classes on how to do low-budget, simple, indoor (in any space) hydroponics. I'm also building out some starter kits to give away.

I'll see if the local library would like me to give these courses and kits when the seed library gets built as a way to promote it and get word out to the local community.
