Update #2: First Seed Saving Class
Richmond Grows Seed Lending Library sponsored our first seed saving class this week. We covered easy-to-save vegetable seeds. 22 people attended! We had a number of emails from participants expressing how inspired they were to start saving seeds.
We have 3 days left in our fundraiser to make seed saving videos based on the course. These videos will be available for free to other seed lending libraries and gardeners interested in saving seeds. At the moment, we have five other communities who have expressed an interest in creating seed lending libraries!
Please let others know about our Kickstarter campaign and the seed lending library idea.

I'm the founder and co-coordinator of Richmond Grows Seed Lending, a free seed lending library located in the Richmond Public Library. I am a middle school math and science teacher and love to integrate permaculture and sustainability principles into the curriculum. Occasionally, I can be seen walking around town dressed as the iconic Rosie the Riveter because I love her can-do spirit and she's a hometown girl.
