Library Offers Seeds To Check Out And Return

Flickr user Sue Craske

There’s a new resource in town for Kansas City gardeners: a seed library. Starting this spring at the Ruiz branch of the Kansas City Public Library, anyone with a library card can check out seeds for typical garden plants, from cilantro to tomatoes. At the end of the season, patrons return the seeds they harvest from the plants they grow.

 
On Thursday's Central Standard, host Gina Kaufmann speaks with branch manager Julie Robinson about the new seed library and how it's organized.
 
The launch of the seed library at the Ruiz branch of the Kansas City Public Library is May 3 at 2 p.m.
 
Guest:

  • Julie Robinson, manager of the Ruiz branch of the Kansas City Public Library

People don't make cameos in news stories; the human story is the story, with characters affected by news events, not defined by them. As a columnist and podcaster, I want to acknowledge what it feels like to live through this time in Kansas City, one vantage point at a time. Together, these weekly vignettes form a collage of daily life in Kansas City as it changes in some ways, and stubbornly resists change in others.
