The Washington County Seed Library will be a community resource that allows people to “borrow” from a diverse selection of seeds to take home for free. Our seed library will empower the community to develop resilient, locally-based food options and pollinator-friendly habitats.

Program Schedule:

12 to 2 p.m. – Community Seed Swap and Gardening Activities
