Whether you are looking to thin out your stash or start your very first garden bed, here is a quick guide to making the most of a Master Gardener Seed Library Giveaway:For Those Donating (The "Givers")
If you're bringing seeds to share, help the next gardener succeed by ensuring your packages are well-documented.
Clear Labeling: Include the plant name, variety (e.g., "Cherokee Purple Tomato"), and the year it was harvested.
Growing Tips: If the plant has specific needs (like "needs a trellis" or "prefers partial shade"), a quick note on the packet is gold.
Dry & Stable: Ensure seeds are completely dry before packaging to prevent mold. Paper envelopes are usually better than plastic for long-term storage.
For Those Collecting (The "Growers")
Take Only What You Need: A single packet often contains enough seeds for several seasons.
Ask the Experts: Since Master Gardeners will be on-site, ask them about local frost dates or which varieties thrive best in your specific soil type.
Record Keeping: Take a photo of the original seed packet or any signage so you don't forget the planting depth or spacing requirements once you get home.
