What is the Crazy corner seed lending bank?
Its run by myself and my daughter and is funded by myself and my husband. We are not affiliated with any company or library. Why do we do it? We thought that it was a great idea giving seeds to people who want them with the hope to encourage seed stewardship. We have lost over 93% of our food variety in the last 100 years. The hope of seed libraries is to distribute seeds and preserver those seed varieties by seed saving.
So how does it work? Seeds are free usually we pack them in packets of 5-10 seeds or more depending on supply. You can request as many seed packets/varieties as you like there is no limit. We give you the seeds with the hope that you will save seeds from the plants that you grow using the seeds from the seed bank. So for example you get pumpkin seeds and grow the seeds at the end of the season when its time to carve jack lanterns you save the seeds from one or more pumpkins and bring those seeds back to the seed bank. So that we can restock our supply and there are seeds for the next year. And you save the rest of the seeds for yourself to roast or to plant the following year.
Now you are saying I don't know anything about saving seeds! We are here to help you. You can email us questions at annescrazycorner@gmail.com or visit our web site annes crazy corner. We are working on seed saving how-to. You can come to the library dates listed above and talk to us or bring us the fruit, veg, or flower you want to donate seeds back to the seed bank from and we will save the seeds or show you how to save the seeds. What if you can't make it to the library dates? Then we can try and set up a meeting.
Anyone can donate seeds to the seed bank even if they did not borrow seeds from us. This year we have seeds that have been donated by some local individuals. But most of our seeds this year have come from donation programs from seed companies. Our seeds were donated by bakers creek, seed saver exchange, pleasant valley, high mowing seeds, Renee's garden, Southern exposure, cawaco RC&D.
We look forward to a great year and seeing many new faces at the library. Hope to see you there.
