The Waterville Public Library is launching the 2024 Waterville Seed Library. This free public resource features 30 varieties, including tomato, pumpkin, summer lettuce mix and green beans.
Beginning Saturday, March 16, while supplies last, garden seed packets can be picked up at the 73 Elm St. library. A free Paint a Plant Pot and Plant Basil craft program for youth will be offered from 1:30-2:30 p.m., according to a news release from the library.
The seed library provides community members with the resources to grow healthy, sustainable food at no cost. It helps to reclaim seeds as a public resource and fosters a culture where local growing knowledge is easily shared.
The seed library is made possible through a partnership with the Colby Office of Civic Engagement, Waterville Public Library, FEDCO Seeds, and Johnny’s Selected Seeds. Project funding and support was provided by the Colby Office of Civic Engagement and the Ohanian-Szostak Fellows for Civic Leadership.
