Visit the Worthen Library between 10am and noon on Saturday, March 16 to celebrate the 4rd year of the South Hero Seed Library with a good ol’ fashioned seed swap!

Everyone is welcome to attend, even if you don’t have seeds to share! We invite both experienced gardeners and farmers as well as new gardeners looking to dive into growing and saving seeds.

Also, folks from the Worthen Library will be there with seed-themed art activities for kids, a free prize raffle, and more.

The seed library already has a small amount of seeds to start with, and we also accept seeds if you have extra to donate! Some seeds have been donated by organizations such as South Hero Land Trust, the Vermont Garden Network, as well as local businesses like Arbor Farm Market!

All seeds are meant to be freely available for anyone in the community, for whatever reason - You can grow for yourself and your family, and/or grow a little extra for the food shelf, or even to save seeds for yourself and others, whatever you want to do with them!

For donations, we only ask that no invasive species are brought - check out the Vermont Invasives website for photos and information about non-native and invasive plants. If you want to learn more about saving seeds, we recommend visiting https://www.seedsavers.org
