Community members can take seeds from the libraries collection, plant the seeds in their personal garden, cultivate new seeds from whats grown, and donate those seeds back to the library. We're looking for volunteers, supplies, and donations for our launch this April!!
**Our first two locations will be outside of Strange Town - 2101 N Prospect Ave and Cactus Club - 2496 S Wentworth Ave.**
