Introducing the Richmond Grows Seed Lending Library

Comments Off on Introducing the Richmond Grows Seed Lending Library

This is quite impressive. Richmond Grows Seed Lending Library is the first of its kind, a service within the library that lets the public borrow and return seeds. Seeds gets categorised based on family and degree of difficulty to plant. Naturally, the library will never get back the exact seeds it gave, as people return the seeds that they get from their crops. Borrowers start with seeds from the existing library collection and are expected to return seeds they gather themselves from each crop.

Now that is a legacy. Rather than attempting to monetise seeds, or overdoing monoculture, this community is generating an important seed and knowledge bank. It’s a lovely idea, this evolution of libraries.
