The Dirt Dauber Garden Club is partnering with the Muskegon Area District Library’s Montague Branch and Tri-County Feed to host a Seed Swap in the Montague City Hall chambers Wednesday, March 26 from 5:30-7 p.m.
This event is free and open to the public, and bringing seeds is not required. All seeds are free and the Dirt Dauber club will provide envelopes for sharing and storing.
The Seed Swap was the idea of member and Master Gardener Laura Bostick, who realized not many people knew of the library’s Seed Bank and Lending program. Both libraries in the White Lake area have seed libraries, and anyone with a card can come in and select from a variety of seeds for their garden. The hope is that borrowers will also harvest the seeds and share their bounty, but like everything concerning the garden, sometimes things don’t work out.
For those with an abundance of seeds they would like to donate, the Dirt Dauber club will gladly accept donations for the event and the Montague Seed Library. Donors are asked to have the seeds be clean, dry, and identified.
In addition to Dirt Dauber Garden Club member seeds, the complete MADL Montague Branch Seed Library and donations from Gered Dahl at Tri-County Feed of Montague will be on site to select from. Both flowering plants and vegetable seeds will be available.
