Last year, the Kearns library gave out 7,000 seed packets to 600 people. Here’s how you can grab some free seeds there from now until the end of April — no library card required.
By Stefene Russell An old card catalogue cabinet proves to be the perfect thing to store packets of seeds as part of the seed library at the Central Library in Salt Lake City as seen on Saturday, April 16, 2022.
The seed library launched last year, said Trish Hull, the Kearns branch manager for the Salt Lake County Library system, and “it was hugely popular. … We gave out something like 7,000 seed packets to 600 people.” “One of the things we did last year, which we tried to do again this year, was to get specific seeds for our community,” Hull said. For example, the seed library soon will add taro seeds, at the request of the Pacific Islander community.
