Are you a gardener with way too many seeds? Are you a beginning gardener looking to try new varieties? Do you want to learn about saving seeds? Are you just excited about gardening? If the answer to any of those questions is “Yes”, come to the 2nd Annual Lakeshore Area Seed Swap!
The 2nd Annual Lakeshore Area Seed Swap will be held in the Balkansky Room of Manitowoc Public Library on Saturday, March 19, from 9 AM to noon. The public is invited to take part in this Seed Swap.

If you have seeds you don’t plan to use, you can drop them off at Manitowoc Public Library anytime leading up to the event. There is a colorful box situated near the Main Service Desk. Donating seeds in advance will allow volunteers time to organize the seeds.
There is no cost for this event. Bring seeds to share, take seeds you are interested in planting. Think of a seed swap as a potluck, but with seeds! Small envelopes for the seeds that you wish to take with you will be provided.
Most vegetable seeds are viable for 2 to 4 years if stored properly. Heirloom varieties are encouraged.
