SEEDY SATURDAY
February, 25th from 9:30 am - 3 pm

Dreaming of Spring?  It's just around the corner!  This day will be the opening day of the Harwinton Grows Seed Library.  Stop in anytime to browse and borrow seeds.  We have had many generous donations and the Seed Library is well stocked!

The Harwinton Grows Seed Library has been a service offered here at The Harwinton Library since 2018.  Our goal is to provide the community with a way to share seeds with neighbors.  A seed library is a way of collecting and sharing seeds to encourage biodiversity and to produce better local plants and produce.  We rely on donations from generous seed companies as well as our Seed Library participants.  We offer gardening programming throughout the year.  Coming on March 18th: Seed Starting Workshop.  In April we will begin our bi-monthly Let's Talk Gardening group.  We hope you can join us for one or all of these events.

Harwinton Public Library has been selected  to receive $1 from every $2.50 reusable Community Bag sold during the month of February 2023 at:
