ASHE SEED LIBRARY | |
---|---|
The primary purpose of the seed library is to offer free, open-pollinated seeds to our community. Our mission is to grow and preserve seeds, stories, and foodways specific to Ashe County, Western North Carolina, and the Appalachian Region of the United States. In this spirit, we encourage folks to save seeds from these plants and either return some to the seed library or use them to continue to cultivate these special, regional varieties. The seed library is a partnership among ASU's Sustainable Development Department, Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture (BRWIA), Ashe County Cooperative Extension, and Ashe County Public Library. To learn more about this project, click here or visit the upper level of the library. The Ashe Seed Library is open each year between April and October. |
