Seed Libraries
The Sequoyah Regional Library System in partnership with the Master Gardeners in Cherokee & Gilmer Counties offer seed libraries.
Seed libraries are at the following locations:
-
Rose Creek Public Library
-
R.T. Jones Memorial
-
Ball Ground Public Library
-
Gilmer County Library
-
Woodstock Public Library
The seed libraries are free to the public and allows borrowers to “check out” vegetable, herb and flower seeds. When seeds are checked out from the seed library, a form is completed. The seed libraries were started in order to encourage the community’s interest in home gardening. Seed saving is a tradition that allows for the selection and perpetuation of plants that have a particular value to a gardener. Saving the seeds of favorite plants for further use contributes to the biodiversity of local communities and connects family generations.
