MADISON, WI -- Madison Public Library's popular Garden Seed Giveaway begins today on Monday, March 2 at eight library locations.
Free seeds are available at the following libraries:
All libraries (with the exception of Central Library) will offer a variety of flower, herb, and produce seeds for visitors, free of charge. Visitors can stop into participating libraries to pick up seeds while supplies last at each location. Each seed packet contains 10-15 seeds apiece and can be put to use in a home garden or in a community garden plot around town. Library staff encourage visitors to take as many seeds as they plan to use, and a library card isn't required to enjoy the Seed Library. However, once seeds are gone, they won't be restocked until winter when the library transitions its collection to feature native Wisconsin plant seeds.
