We are please to announce that the LIRSC is working in conjunction with the Patchogue-Medford Public Library to build the area's first public seed library. 

Patchogue Medford Library is conducting a series of "Got Seeds?" classes given by members of the LIRSC.  Members include master gardeners, farmers, seed companies and plant breeders.  Each class will focus on basic steps needed to save seeds from planning what to save, starting the seeds, harvesting, cleaning and storage. 

The classes are a guide to help newcomers to seed saving and to create a supportive community of seed savers. In return, participants are encouraged to donate some of their saved seed to the seed library. 

We are extremely excited to see this project grow!  All classes will be listed in our events calendar and we will continue to provide updates on the library!
