DAR Donates Pollinator Plant Seed Packets to Barrington Area Library
Local gardeners will find hundreds of free pollinator plant seed packets, thanks to a generous donation from Signal Hill, NSDAR.
When the Barrington Area Library’s Seed Library opens for the season, local gardeners will find hundreds of free pollinator plant seed packets, thanks to a thoughtful, generous donation from the Barrington-based Signal Hill Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
Seeds for 11 different native pollinator plants will be available, along with more than 100 other seed varieties. Adult Services Librarian Liz Kirchhoff expressed the Library’s gratitude, saying, “Seeds for native pollinator plants are in high demand in our community, and the DAR’s substantial donation allows us to be well stocked and ready to meet that need.”
The Seed Library contains a wonderful variety of seeds for vegetables, flowers, herbs, and more. Most seeds are organic and non-GMO. Seeds are appropriate for garden beds as well as container gardening.
