Extension starting a seed library

December 29, 2016

The Boundary County Extension Office is soon starting a seed library. This library will be a collection of open pollinated and heirloom seeds that you can borrow to plant and grow at home. A class on seed saving techniques will be held in the Extension Office meeting room at 1 p.m. Friday, January 27. Cost is $3. To register, call (208) 267-3235. By saving seeds as a community, they hope to achieve a local seed stock. Local seed will be better acclimated our unique climate. Their goal is to support gardeners from beginner to expert, and to help you learn how to grow, harvest and save seeds. Currently they have a very small amount of seeds to share, so they are looking for donations.
