Public Libraries Add Seeds for Patrons to Check Out Like Books | Eater

"One branch in the city led the library system’s seed-library efforts beginning in 2012 and helped demonstrate how offering free seeds can show patrons that starting a garden is accessible and affordable. The branch hosts an on-site garden named for Dolores Huerta where community members can adopt small plots, relieve stress, and build connections across diverse patrons; the site also runs volunteer and youth-intern programs and partners with an adult transition nonprofit, with volunteers helping everything from seed sorting and repacking to planting, weeding, and watering." - Bridget Shirvell
