Did you know Bluffton Public Library has a mini Seed and Garden Catalog Swap going on now?
It's simple: Bring some seed packets you don't need this year, and perhaps pick up a few from the basket. Same goes for current Garden Catalogs. The library recommends marking or cutting out any personal info before adding it to the basket.
There are also some plant starts from the generous library plants growing nearby. Keep an eye our for a possible plant swap this summer.
