MALENY and Kawana Libraries lead the way in the innovative seed library initiative, officially launched by Division Five Councillor Winston Johnston in Maleny on February 7.
Councillor Johnston said it will be a great project for the region and explained how the seed library will function successfully, running until July 23.
“Library members can now pick up seeds from collection bases at the two libraries, green thumbs can also donate seeds from their own gardens for others to enjoy,” he said.
The collection of seeds on offer include Bok Choy, Winter Melon, and French Marigold, and green thumbs can harvest seeds from plants grown from seed library seeds to donate back to the seed library.
“Customers will be able to collect and donate seeds during library open hours, library members are welcome to four seed packets to grow and swap once a month,” Councillor Winston Johnston said.
“When your plant has grown and left seeds, we would like you to harvest some of those seeds and bring them back to the seed library to continue the resources for the community.”
