Native Seeds. We are accepting requests for native and pollinator seeds through Friday, January 24. These seeds can be “winter sown,” that is, propagated outside during the winter. Use this form if you wish to request up to three types of seeds from our updated native seeds list. The seeds list also contains a link to Jim’s Winter Sowing instructions. We will fulfill requests through Friday next week, January 24. Details are on the request form.
Veggie Gardening Class. To kick off the spring gardening season, register for Starting Early in the Vegetable Garden on Saturday, January 25 at 1 p.m. We will have a selection of seeds available that afternoon from 2-4:30 p.m., whether you attend the class or not, at the Seed Library on Miller’s Lower Level.
Garden Seeds. From February through early June we will open our Seed Library in Miller Library. Many types of ornamental, vegetable, and herb seeds will be available whenever the library is open. Others will be available on request. Details to come. Also, knowledgeable staff will be on hand on Thursdays from 1-4:30 p.m. and on Saturdays from 2-4:30 p.m.
Thank you’s. We wish to thank the Friends of Hamden Library, Hamden Land Conservation Trust, and CT Master Gardeners for their support. We have received seed donations from Cheshire Nursery, Hart Seeds, Seed Savers, and an increasing number of local gardeners.
