The North Olympic Library System (NOLS) is mailing free starter kits of seeds to Clallam County residents.

Individuals can complete an online seed request form at www.nols.org/seedlibrary or call 360-417-8500, x2, to speak with a library employee, who can help them complete the form.

Established in 2017, the NOLS Grows Seed Library is a seed exchange kiosk stocked with small, pre-packaged quantities of free vegetable seeds, and providing other educational materials related to gardening, growing and seed-saving.

The Seed Library provides residents with a low-cost opportunity to try gardening and experiment with growing small quantities of different plant varieties.
