    That's a really lovely idea! Especially as participants will be saving seeds that are suitable for the local area.

        There is something similar here: Although not a public library.

        What is the Heritage Seed Library?

          Thats a great idea. It's not really the same, but in my town the old WHsmiths has closed down, so the space is rented out for free to a book charity. Basically run by volunteers, they accept the books that charity shops wouldn't and give them away free. You can donate books if you want and each visit you're allowed to take up to 3 books. Saves the books from going to landfill and you can get some interesting stuff. Maybe I should suggest they do seeds too!

            Should we re-name the VSP as a Seed Library?

                Bungay has the best public library that I've come across: Events

                They have loads of clubs, plus a little courtyard herb garden with a seed & plant swap
