LANSING, Mich. — The Capital Area District Library is participating in seed sharing again this year.
This is part of the Michigan Seed Library Network's One Seed, One State initiative. The library said saving and sharing seeds helps feed communities and preserves natural heritage.
This years seeds are Grand Rapids lettuce, which is described as a frilly, non-bitter lettuce that's easy to grow and may be eaten as baby lettuce 28 days after planting. If you trim the leaves above the crown, they will regrow, and if individual plants are allowed to grow larger, they will form loose heads.
The seeds can be picked up April through May or while supplies last at the following nine locations:
- CADL Dansville: 1379 East Mason Street, Dansville
- CADL Holt-Delhi: 2078 Aurelius Road, Holt
- CADL Leslie: 201 Pennsylvania Street, Leslie
- CADL Mason:145 West Ash Street, Mason
- CADL Okemos: 4321 Okemos Road, Okemos
- CADL South Lansing: 3500 South Cedar Street, Lansing
- CADL Stockbridge: 200 Wood Street, Stockbridge
- CADL Webberville: 115 South Main Street, Webberville
- CADL Williamston: 3845 Vanneter Road, Williamston
Seeds can also be donated at the Mason, Okemos or Webeberville branches.
