Help the Community Seed Library Grow This Fall

Posted November 11, 2024 in Community Seed Library News, JMU Libraries News

Do you have seeds left over from your garden planting this year? Consider donating them to JMU’s Community Seed Library!

Visit us in Rose Library! The free JMU Community Seed Library is now located on the first floor of Rose Library, right around the stairs from the main entrance. Visit the self-service seed cabinet any time the building is open to pick up seeds for free or leave a seed donation!
