It's time to get growing and our Gerrish, Mountain View, and Chugiak-Eagle River Library Seed Exchanges are open and ready to share. Seeds are “available until gone”. We are accepting AND handing out seeds, so bring your extras to keep the exchange going. All seeds are welcome - vegetable, herb, annuals, perennials, etc.
Special thanks to the Girdwood Library Boosters and the Friends of the Library for their support.
If gardening is a new-to-you hobby, check out our Gardening Library in a Box kit. These kits contain items around a different theme to help you learn a new skill, navigate a new milestone, or just have some fun. The Gardening kit is designed to introduce you to beginner gardening. Use the included books, seeds, and gardening tools to learn about starting your own garden.
