ysabetwordsmithYesterday I discovered the Seed Library Network. I was delighted to find one near me.
Today we visited the Urbana Free Library Seed Exchange. It's on the second floor. We rode the elevator up, and the display was big enough to be seen from where the elevator lets out.

With wildflower and landrace seeds, especially mixes, you may get more surprises.
