Diggin' It Seed Libraries

26/05/2026

Basics of Seed Saving workshop running tomorrow 11- 1pm at the Paisley Central Library.

Book your free space here: https://www.tickettailor.com/.../renfrewshireclim.../2179137

Come join us at our seed saving workshop next Wednesday 27 May, 11am with Bora, who is a fountain of gardening knowledge and runs the seed libraries in Johnstone and Lochwinnoch libraries!

Saving our own seeds is a step towards food security here in Renfrewshire, as we can select varieties that are well-suited to our local climate, and a broader range of heritage varieties than those we buy in the shops.

Curious? Book your free space today!

Hot drinks and light snacks will be provided, and you can bring your own lunch in if you like.

Thanks to everyone who came down to our Diggin' It Seed Library launches yesterday in Johnstone and Lochwinnoch. We met so many lovely new members as well as community growing groups.
If you missed out on yesterday's events, not to worry; the seed libraries are now permanently set up with Lochwinnoch and Johnstone libraries. You can access the seeds through free membership. More information and our membership link are available here on our website: www.myleapproject.org/diggin-it
We are so grateful to OneRen for their amazing support; their brilliant staff really made us feel welcome yesterday. There are still some of the beautiful A Friend To Nature books they donated available in both libraries for children.
