Sprout to Share Seed Library – Free Seed Exchange Event

February 20, 2026 by Mary Ellen Holub

The Sprout to Share Seed Library will be open for a free seed exchange event. The library is located in the Colorado County Extension Office at 316 Spring Street in Columbus.

Join us on Saturday, February 28th for our first Saturday open of 2026!  We will have seeds set out for folks to pick up and use in their gardens.  Several master gardeners will be onsite to answer any individual questions you may have about gardening and horticulture!  Handouts will be available to pick up on planting date information from Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Horticulture.
The Seed Library will be open for this event from 10:30 – 12 noon!
If anyone is in need of hours and would like to volunteer for this event, please show up in your MG attire with your name tag and help with set up (starting at 9:30 am), answering questions, and clean up after the event!
If you can’t attend please help spread the word to your friends! The event info is live on the Sprout to Share Seed Library Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1AunbsJC7V/ .
