Did you know you can get seeds for free at Albuquerque libraries?
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The Albuquerque Public Library has been helping Duke City get a little greener since 2014 with its “Seed Library.” Through the free program, community members can pick up 30 seed packets each year to start a home garden.
Anyone with an Albuquerque library card and an account in good standing is eligible to pick up seeds. The library releases an updated seed catalog each month, and participants can request one packet of each seed variety, up to a total of 30 seed packets.
