Walnut Cove Public Library Seed Library & Gardening Makerspace
Seed Library
Seeds will be stored using old card catalog.
Organized by category of plant (color coordinated, Red = Vegetables, Green = Herbs, Blue = Flowers, etc.)
Binder with flyers available that is organized based on plant type (also done by color) and alpha order that explains the plant, best growing conditions, difficulty, tips and tricks, sister plants, fun facts and more!
The seed library is highly sustainable as patrons can return unused and new seeds after each growing season!
Community Gardening Makerspace
This will mainly be a place of learning and experimentation open to our patrons for their journey in gardening. This area will be located in the patio.
Planter boxes

Boxes may require wheels or furniture dolys to move around the space.
Sustainable planter boxes will be preferable in this space, upcycled material will be used to help reduce overall waste.
