The Seed library checkout program is now going on at local libraries.
The Seed Library encourages residents to plant native wildflowers that provide food for pollinators and to help to spread knowledge about the important role insects and birds play in our ecosystem.
The program is a cooperative effort between The Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve, the friends of the Reserve, and our local libraries to provide free heirloom seeds to Franklin County residents.
They have seeds for fresh pollinator-friendly flowers.
The flowering plants help protect pollinators like bees, butterflies and moths which have seen their global population drop in recent years because of loss of habitat and the increased use of pesticides on roads and yards.
The seeds, along with information on how to plant them, are available at the Franklin County libraries in Eastpoint and in Carrabelle as well as the Apalachicola Municipal Library.
If you would like more information, you can call the Reserve at 850-653-5951.
