Take the number of seeds you think you’ll need and leave the rest. If you have a bountiful season (or have purchased too many seeds), you can donate seeds back to share with other gardeners. What a fun way to try a new variety of flower or dip your toe into natives! Envelopes are provided.  If would like to support the seed library, bring seed or cash donations to the sign in desk at the February meeting.
