Sprout to Share Free Seed Library Open in New Location
The Sprout to Share Free Seed Library relocated to the Colorado County AgriLife Extension Office at 316 Spring St #106, Columbus, TX. New hours are Monday thru Friday, 8a-5p. Join the public Facebook group to watch for occasional Saturday hours and events: fb.com/groups/sprouttoshare.
The library, a project of Bluebonnet Master Gardeners of the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, is full of seeds, ready for spring planting! It is open to anyone from Austin, Colorado, Fayette, Lavaca, or Wharton counties. No library card or any official documentation is needed.
Seed borrowers are encouraged to grow their seeds and enjoy the produce, sharing it with family and friends, then saving seeds from a small part of the produce to return to the library for the community’s future gardening needs. Want to be a seed library volunteer? Drop by the seed library to sign up.
