If you’ve been in the new community building in Columbus, you may have noticed the small cabinet painted with flowers and vegetables. This is the seed library. It is a co-project of the Columbus Library Foundation and Extension Master Gardener volunteers.
Master Gardeners obtained seed through donations from many local businesses. Beginning last spring, people were able to take seed for free. This past spring and summer, seed was taken at least 327 times. This is a great response.
Along with providing seed, Master Gardeners also teach gardening classes. Two are scheduled for this fall. On Sept. 7, the class is on Covers Crops for Home Gardens and Soils with Ben Beller. On October 13, Squash in Fall, Uses and More will be covered by Marilyn Schmidt. Both will be held 2-3 p.m. at the library. No registration is required.
