Seed Swap: Seed Drop-off!

It’s that time of the year! As part of our Sustained Success Series* of programs, the Quincy Public Library is holding a seed swap to help you diversify your garden and grow healthy herbs and vegetables!

Have you started your Spring plants seeds already and have extra packs of seeds? Or did you purchase seeds and then decide not to use them? Or maybe you have a package of seeds with WAY more seeds than you needed left in it? Bring them into the library, drop them off, and come back on seed swap day to pick different ones and expand your garden variety! Learn about or trade out for flowers, herbs, and veggies you may never have thought about trying otherwise!

Here's how it works:

  1. Bring your seeds in to the library in their original packaging (it can have been opened, but please reseal it using tape or stapling, and place it in a small plastic bag before dropping it off).
  2. At the "Ask Here" desk, drop off your seeds. The librarian will have you write down your name and the number of seed packets you dropped off. 
  3. Drop off anytime library is open: Mon-Thurs 9 am to 8 pm, Friday and Saturday 9 am to 5 pm!
  4. Swaps are on a 1:1 basis; for each pack you bring in, you'll pick a new pack on Swap Day!! 
  5. Come in on March 4th any time between 10 am and 1 pm and choose your new seeds!
