Signage

​Questions to consider 🤔
  • Do you have any signage about how to save or return seeds?
  • How much space do you have for signage? 
  • Do you have signage about how the library is organized?
  • Do folks know how many seeds they can take?
  • Do you have seeds about the quality and value of locally grown seeds?​
Local Seeds Sign
It is important to clearly state that local seeds you offer may not be as labeled and that people in your community have different experience saving seed. Locally grown and shared seeds have been a part of human culture for over 10,000 years let's embrace and celebrate the diversity of seeds and the people who share them.  Make a copy of the Seed Signage/Disclaimer sign to post in your library.
