  • Seed Library and Exchanges

    April and warmer temperatures have local gardeners preparing for this year’s growing season – and it can’t come soon enough, especially for those participating in the new

Joining us to discuss the topic are La Crosse Public Library’s Seed Library Coordinator, Kelly Becker; Cindy Mischnick, a La Crosse Public Library reference librarian; and the co-founder of Decorah, Iowa-based Seed Savers Exchange, Diane Ott Whealy. We’ll also hear what participants in
    the library’s workshops are saying about the project.
