The Madison Library Seed Exchange
It's not too late to start planting. We have herbs, vegetables and flower seeds free for the taking. We encourage donation of any leftover seed you may have from either commercially packaged or saved seed.
We believe this is another way to bring our community together sharing ideas, knowledge and resources.
