Seed Library Grand Opening May 1st

The Bridgton Public Library is starting a Seed Library for our community.  You can “check out” seed packets from our collection, plant them, harvest the produce, and return seeds from your harvest for future “check out.” Whether you are planting for the first time or are a master gardener, this is a great way to try something new.  We have started our collection with a few varieties of flowers and vegetables/fruits.

We are also accepting donations of extra seeds you may have; for those who have a bounty to share, please drop them off here! Even open packages are welcome, as long as the seeds are what they should be. We will re-package for checkout.

Information on seed harvesting will be available for pickup, and here are some helpful links for more information:
