Working in much the same was as holiday cookie swaps and neighborhood book boxes, Morrisville Free Library is hosting a take-some/leave-some seed share program. Tianna G. Hansen harvested the story in the Fairless Focus.

The program is the brainchild of local gardeners Heather Guidice (of Kona Compost in Yardley) and Jean Kuhn of Brooklyn.

Trying to spread the joy of homegrown foods and native plants, the pair asks members of the public to bring four packets of seeds, either purchased or home-grown, to the library. There, they may leave these for someone else to enjoy, while exiting with four packets of new seeds to try.

All seeds are labeled and sorted by type: open-pollinated vegetable, herb, flower, and native plant. The packets are alphabetized, enabling easy access finding anything from asters to zucchini. Library recommendations of gardening books are nearby.

There is no charge for the swap.

“Many gardeners realize the value of saving seeds,” says Guidice. “Maybe you purchase them one time around, then you can save them from the plant that grows — and bring these seeds back to our Seed Share.”

The library invites participants to share results on social media, using the tag @buckscountyseedshare.

The program is open Mon. to Thu. (10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.) and Sat. (10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.).
