Garden of free eating
Colonial Heights Seed Library
Libraries aren’t just for books, anymore. The Colonial Heights Library, in fact, offers patrons a chance to grow a garden, courtesy of its organic heirloom-seed library. Visit the branch to browse a card catalog (naturally) stocked with seed packets for tomatoes, zucchini, carrots and whatever else you need to make the most awesome salad ever. The branch even offers an online system for checkout and returns. It works something like this: You’re not technically “borrowing” the seeds—and rest assured, there are no due dates or late charges. Rather, plant ’em up, and once your bounty arrives, bring a few seeds back to the library (labeled, please!) so that the circle of life may remain unbroken. 4799 Stockton Boulevard, www.saclibrary.org/?pageId=628.
