Sowing Curiosity: East Baton Rouge Parish Library launches Seed Libraries
Our Wild Ones chapter Vice President, Allison Gianelloni, was recently featured in the Advocate newspaper for her amazing seed library project blooming in East Baton Rouge Parish libraries!
Advocate article: “Free seeds, free books: Seed Libraries in Baton Rouge encourage plant growth“
The little seed libraries are housed inside 10 East Baton Rouge Parish libraries, providing planting guides, community gardening events and free seeds for patrons to take home and grow their own food or to plant a sustainable, native garden. Our chapter donated native plant seeds for this wonderfully creative and educational program.
