A big thank you to the Garden Clubs of the Eastern Shore for donating funds that enabled us to buy *6 pounds* of wildflower seed! Planting meadows helps attract and feed pollinators, beautifies the landscape and helps reduce the amount of turf grass (and therefore fertilizer used and potential runoff).

Another group will be helping us package all of this seed starting next week. It takes a village to keep the seed library going! We’ll post again when this seed becomes available!

Lots of summer varieties still to choose from!
