WATERVILLE — The Waterville Public Library is set to launch the 2025 Waterville Seed Library. This free public resource features 20-plus varieties, including tomato, pumpkin, summer lettuce mix, green beans, and more.
Beginning on the Spring Equinox — Thursday, March 20 — while supplies last, garden seed packets can be picked up at the 73 Elm St. library. A seed starting workshop is planned for 5-6 p.m. Earth Day, Tuesday, April 22.
The seed library provides community members with 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. The Colby Office of Civic Engagement and the Ohanian-Szostak Fellows for Civic Leadership provided project funding and support.
