Pine River Seed Library prepares for spring

   The Pine River Seed Library is getting ready to open! The committee is meeting soon to set up Seed Library hours and a schedule for volunteers. This year’s seed order has arrived so the group will also be packaging seeds for the 2023 growing season.  

   Meetings are open to anyone who is interested. If you would like to participate with the packaging or be involved in staffing the library, you are invited to join the next meeting on Thursday, January 26 at 1 p.m. at the Pine River Area Food Shelf. If you are unable to be at the meeting but would like to volunteer, please call Barb at 218-587-2326. 

   The Seed Library is housed in the Pine River Public Library.  Anyone may join by completing a short membership form. Once the form is complete, the seeds are available to borrow at no charge. Seeds may have been donated by local gardeners or purchased from companies that specialize in growing in northern climates. The seed library encourages borrowers to save seed to return to the library in the fall and provides guidance on how to do so.
