Come join us at the Northeast Portland Tool Library on Saturday, February 27th, for a free seed swap and library stock-up event to kick off the new gardening season!  We have a wide range of seeds available that you can take home to start or supplement your garden for 2010.  You may find some interesting local varieties that you wouldn’t see at the store!  If you have seeds of your own that you’d like to share with others or with the library, now is a great time to bring them in.

The event will be from 11AM to 2PM at the Tool Library (in the basement area of the Redeemer Lutheran Church – 5431 NE 20th Ave).  In addition to swapping seeds and stories, we’ll also have info about upcoming gardening and seed-saving workshops.  For more information, please contact Chris Price ( chris// @ //digitalnotions.com ).  Hope to see you there!

About the Seed Library:  the Portland Seed Library, graciously hosted by the Northeast Portland Tool Library, was started in 2009 by Gregg Lavender (Woodlawn resident!) and several other fine Portlanders.  There is a large inventory of seeds available for free from the library; just stop in to the tool library (http://neptl.org) any time during their open hours and pick up what you need.  Then, make sure that you let a few of your plants go to seed so that you can save some seeds and bring them back to the library for others to borrow for the next season.
