What is the Crazy corner seed lendin
g 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 th
em with the hope to encourage seed stewardship. We have lost over 93% of ou
r food variety in the last 100 years. The hope of seed libraries is to dist
ribute 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/varietie
s as you like there is no limit. We give you the seeds with the hope that y
ou will save seeds from the plants that you grow using the seeds from the s
eed bank. So for example you get pumpkin seeds and grow the seeds at the en
d of the season when its time to carve jack lanterns you save the seeds fro
m 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 s
ave the rest of the seeds for yourself to roast or to plant the following y
ear.
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 b
ring 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. Wh
at 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 no
t borrow seeds from us. This year we have seeds that have been donated by s
ome local individuals. But most of our seeds this year have come from donat
ion programs from seed companies. Our seeds were donated by bakers creek, s
eed saver exchange, pleasant valley, high mowing seeds, Renee's garden, Sou
thern exposure, cawaco RC&D.
We look forward to a great year and s
eeing many new faces at the library. Hope to see you there.
