"Garden" inside a yellow circle, with plant tendrils around it.

Some assembly required - come get your hands dirty at the ECU Library!

After starting the ECU Seed Swap last year, we are making space to connect and share knowledge with community members who have been participating, as well with as those who are new to growing things. We will be sprouting some seeds in a corner of the Library, and want to make room to those who want to learn more about gardening but may not have access to outdoor space or materials.

WHO
Those who want to know more about gardening and those who have gardening knowledge to share. Anyone who is interested in planting seeds, or taking seeds or propagated plants home. Folks who want to chat about and show off photos of their plants at home!

WHAT
We will be talking about all things plants, seeds, dirt, and gardening! We will be planting seeds to sprout in the Library and for community members who wish to take them home. We have 11 different types of seeds at the moment - mostly pollinators and vegetables! We also have propagated some of our own Library plants, which will be available for community members to take home or to their studios or offices. This is intended to be a really casual get together, sharing collective knowledge and meeting each other! The Library will also provide soil, space and reused containers to take home with you.

WHEN
Our first Garden Party will be on Wednesday, April 13th from 12pm-1pm. We hope that this will be the first of many meetups - we will be making event pages for any subsequent meeting times.

WHERE
In the East corner of the lower floor of the Library, accessible by stairs or the elevator.

HOW
You don’t need to be a gardening expert to attend this party.. drop by for a bit of plant chat, and leave with some seeds and soil. Be prepared to get your hands dirty!
