I am, kind of, actually, a bit confused how you “lend” seeds. I mean, do they expect you, if the plant produces seed, to bring and equal number back, or next season you get charged with a hefty overdue seed charge? Somehow the word being used seems.. a bit odd in context. lol

It sounds like a great program.

There’s a faq: Yes they’re open pollinated varieties, and yes the idea is that gardeners will bring seeds from their crop back to the library, but aside from sending out a reminder at the end of the growing season, they aren’t going to sweat it if someone doesn’t.

This is a *great* idea! I’ll forward this on to our local library system to see if we could institute this kind of program. (I don’t see why not–this county is full of home-growin’, organic-lovin’ peeps. :) )
Better hope it’s all open-pollinated varieties a la Seeds of Change or Territorial Seed. Otherwise you end up with a full Punnett Square of surprises
That’s actually a brilliant idea.
Neat! And this is something actually local to me for once.
I like this Plan!
