Gardening Projects

Promoting gardening education through community service and projects.

Seed Starting

Successful seed starting begins with careful seed sorting. A dedicated group of gardening enthusiasts gathers at the library to count, organize, and share seeds. Each participant then embarks on the challenge of germinating and nurturing plants for our community demonstration garden, The DIG.

A blackboard in the center features some chalk writing and drawings, adding to the cozy, educational atmosphere. Overhead, the glass roof allows more light to filter in.
