Library Offers Seed Distribution

The Neuss City Library is excited to announce the commencement of the "loan" phase for its seed library, just in time for the spring season. This unique initiative encourages sharing and learning about gardening experiences and successes within the community, as well as promoting biodiversity.

The seed library, founded by Anja Backhaus, has received generous donations from the "Association for the Preservation of Plant Diversity e.V." and local hobby gardeners. With a wide variety of unusual and interesting herbs, flowers, and vegetables on offer, there's something for every green-fingered individual.

To use the seed library, simply visit the Neuss City Library and choose the seeds you'd like to borrow. Remember, to ensure availability for everyone, only one packet of seeds should be taken per person.

Once you've grown your seeds in your personal garden or on your balcony, a portion of the harvest's seeds should be packaged and returned to the library in the fall. This helps to maintain the seed library's supply and keeps it thriving for future seasons.

To stay updated on the seed library and other social developments, culinary arts, art, and culture in Neuss, be sure to subscribe to the seed library's newsletter. You can confirm your subscription by checking your inbox or spam folder. The newsletter provides valuable insights and information that will enhance your gardening journey.

The seed library also encourages its users to share their gardening experiences and successes via social media channels. By doing so, you can connect with other gardeners, learn from their experiences, and inspire others in the community.

So, whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, the Neuss City Library's seed library offers a wonderful opportunity to grow, learn, and connect with others. Come and join us in this exciting venture!
