Seed library created to protect, grow plant species
A new project in Prince Albert is looking to attract would-be gardeners.
A seed library has sprouted at the John M. Cuelenaere Public Library in order to lend seeds instead of books to interested growers.
The project has a simple premise: visitors can examine the cabinet and select seeds to plant, then return seeds produced in their garden to the library at the end of the season.
Collection and Readers Advisory Librarian Meghan O’Leary explained how the project is also intended to build a more resilient seed base for the area.
