Ridgway Library District

We are proud to be a part of a growing movement of seed preservation. All across the country, and even the world, public libraries are becoming a haven for the preservation of seeds. Ridgway Library has a shelving location set aside for patrons to check out seeds that are adapted to our region.

Within the Seed Library there is a great selection of books on topics such as seed saving, gardening, as well as bees and other pollinators. We also offer free classes several times a year on saving seeds and other garden related topics.

We wish to thank the companies and local patrons who contribute seeds for their generous donations to the Ridgway Seed Library. Please support regional and local vendors as you plant your gardens.
