Summary:

The Indianapolis Public Library is working to eliminate food insecurity by offering free garden seeds (veggies, herbs and flowers) through a Seed Library. Branches with Seed Libraries are primarily located in designated food deserts. To keep costs low, non-GMO seeds are purchased in bulk and then repackaged with labels and library barcodes. Volunteers are asked to assist with this process at the . Have an impact reducing food insecurity in our community! The Indianapolis Public Library has been providing free seeds (veggies, herbs & flowers) through our Seed Library project for several years. Our focus is on branch locations that are in or near food deserts. To save on cost we purchase seeds in bulk and repackage them with labels and library barcodes. This project is at our Pike Branch, 6525 Zionsville Road, where we have a community room that will provide for safe distancing. We can host up to 8 individuals or group members in 2-4 hour shifts (minimum age 10 with an adult). Planting season is around the corner so we’d like to have the majority of the packaging completed by the end of March. To see the shifts on Tuesdays (2-4 or 5-7) or Wednesdays (10-12 or 3-5) signup below!
