The Roman philosopher Marcus Tullius Cicero said, “If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.”
By visiting Peapack & Gladstone Library located at the Municipal Complex on School Street, SCLS patrons will be able to “check out” Cicero’s definition of everything. In addition to the library’s normal compilation of movies, books, and music, free seed packets are now available as part of the System’s inaugural Heirloom Seed Saver Exchange Program.
The goal of SCLS’s Heirloom Seed Saver Exchange Program initiative is to promote community food grown in Somerset County and to help pass on gardening heritage. Following the completion of the growing season, patrons are encouraged to return the seeds to the library for redistribution and replanting the following spring.
Books and articles on managing and maintaining fruit, vegetable, and flower gardens are available at all 10 branch locations. For additional information about this program, please call (908) 234-0598.
