2022 was another huge year for ABG’s Free Seed Libraries! With your help, we gave away close to 17,000 packets of seasonal seeds. Food inflation in 2022 was 11.8% so those seeds had the potential to help many households with their food budgets.
We are getting ready to reopen our network of seed libraries at the end of January and need help packing up seeds to go in the libraries. We will be hosting our first Seed Packing Party on January 22nd from noon – 2PM at an outdoor, but covered location on the East End.
There will be both space for social distancing and the opportunity to socialize while doing something meaningful for a finite amount of time. Past parties have left us able to stock the libraries for months.
Seed packing qualifies for Community Service hours for the student in your household. (We do ask that students younger than 16 be accompanied by an adult.)
We will have hot mulled cider and light snacks.
The weather is forecast to be sunny with a high of 57 degrees.
Please join us to get the Alameda Free Seed Libraries off to a strong start in 2023. Reply to this email to let us know if you will be able to attend.
