The Door County Library is helping you check out materials that you do not have to return, but will hopefully grow into a lifelong passion. Beginning March 20th, you will be able to visit the Door County Seed Library at all eight Door County Library branches. Thanks to a grant from the Door County Community Foundation and generous donors, thousands of seeds are available for interested gardeners to check out from fruits and vegetables to flowers and native plants. Adult Services Laura Kayacan says the Door County Seed Library’s popularity has really grown over its five-year existence.

After you register your membership at DoorCountySeedLibrary.org, you are free to “check out” as many seeds as you want as long as you plan on using them. Since it started five years ago, the Door County Seed Library has distributed approximately 37,000 seed packets to local residents.
