Seeding new growth: Fontana Garden Club plants new 'Seed Library' at Fontana Public Library
1 of 2
Fontana Garden Club president Claudia Garber showcases the club’s new Seed Library installation in the periodicals section at the Fontana Public Library. Created in partnership with the library, the Seed Library is a self-serve, self-sustaining seed exchange program that operates much like borrowing a book from the public library. Community members “borrow” from a wide selection of flower, herb and vegetable seeds, plant the seeds, grow the plants and return in the fall with new seeds from the plantings for the following growing season. By saving seeds as a community, it’s hoped that local seed stocks will be created that are acclimated to the area climate. The Seed Library also offers a variety of free gardening books.
