EMPORIUM — The Barbara Moscato Brown Memorial Library is launching its own seed library and invites local expert gardeners to share their favorite varieties.
“We are currently accepting seeds for any non-GMO vegetable and fruit varieties as well as some flowers,” said Librarian Yelena Kisler. “At this time, we ask that only gardeners with prior seed-saving experience submit donations.”
Review the DCNR list of invasive species on the library’s Seed Library page, or by visiting https://www.dcnr.pa.gov/Conservation/WildPlants/Pages/default.aspx before donating any flower seeds.
“We ask that if you are unsure of your plant’s invasive status, or if the variety is GMO or not, to refrain from submitting it,” said Kisler. “Only seeds that can be properly accounted for will be included in the Seed Library.”
Those interested in donating seeds can begin the process by downloading the “Seed Library Donation Sign Up” and “Seed Donation” forms from the Seed Library tab under Library Programs at www. www.barbaramoscatobrownlibrary.org.
