The Red River Seed Library celebrated its Grand Opening Saturday, May25th, 2013 in the Moorhead Public Library. Twenty five or so people shared their experiences with gardening and learned how the Library would operate. Organizers’ Jamie Holding Eagle, and Kailyn Allen explained that the Library had something for everyone regardless of gardening experience.
When asked if they planned the Grand Opening on the same day as the March Against Monsanto; they explained it was an unplanned “synchronicity,” but that the libraries emphasis, “Heirloom Open Pollinated Organic Seeds” excluded Monsanto GMO seed. The seeds themselves are checked out through a self-serv process which was explained and is also provided at the library.
The Red River Seed Library, Kailyn Allen said, “encourages people to take ownership of not only produced food, but also the production of food.” The library provides a way for people to connect to a wide array of gardening at many levels of experience. The library will hold classes on gardening and seed saving through the summer.
