Let's Grow Together! Get your seeds at Perry Memorial Library and reach out to us if you have any questions about growing your garden.

We've been working on something special at the library... This Earth Day, we'd like to introduce to you The Perry Patch Seed Library! We'll be putting it out on Wednesday and leaving it up indefinitely. Be sure to stop by The Perry Patch near the circulation desk for more information and to get some seeds for yourself!

Have seeds from your own plants? The Perry Patch accepts donations! We will have empty seed envelopes available for you. Just fill out the information on the envelope, put your seeds in it, and bring it to the circulation desk!

Thank you to everyone who has donated their materials and time to help us get The Perry Patch off the ground: Vance County Cooperative Extension, Franklin Brothers Nursery and Greenhouses, Lowe's Home Improvement, and Seed Savers Exchange. We appreciate you!
