Seed exchange starts March 2 at Hillsboro Library

The Hillsboro Library isn’t letting the dreariness of March put a damper on programming — instead, they are embracing the upcoming promise of spring by partnering with the Hillsboro Garden Club for a seed exchange.

From Saturday, March 2 through Saturday, March 16, patrons are invited to come to the library and take some seeds and to also leave some seeds for others to enjoy. Envelopes for the seeds will be provided.

“The Hillsboro Garden Club is excited to partner with the Highland County District Library for the seed exchange,” said club secretary Lynn Luman. “The aim of the garden club is to stimulate and grow the knowledge and love of gardening in our homes and our community, to encourage civic planting and beautification, and most importantly, to protect pollinators, [such as] butterflies [and] bees and native plant species.”

The library is similarly thrilled to partner with the Garden Club. This is our third year hosting a seed exchange, but this year, with the garden club’s help, we know that we’re going to have such an amazing variety for our patrons. We can’t wait to see what seeds come to the library.

Luman echoed that idea, adding, “The seed exchange is a fabulous way to incorporate new varieties of plants in your home floral décor, outdoor landscape and vegetable garden.”
