GROW WITH THE MURRIETA PUBLIC LIBRARY

Gardening enthusiasts in Murrieta have a new and improved resource available to them at the Murrieta Public Library: the Seed Library. The library has recently undergone renovations to enhance the seed library funded by a grant from the California State Library and in part by the Rancho California Water District, providing an even better resource for those interested in sustainable gardening practices.

The seed library program is a unique concept that has gained popularity across the country. The program allows library card holders to borrow seeds for their gardens for free. The library encourages participants to grow the plants, harvest the seeds, and, if they are able, return some of the seeds to the library to replenish the collection. This process helps to promote biodiversity, preserve heirloom plant varieties, and ensures that the seed library remains a sustainable resource for the community.

The new and improved seed library program also offers a range of educational resources to help gardeners get started and learn more about sustainable gardening practices. The library has expanded its collection of gardening books, magazines, and online databases, providing even more resources for those interested in gardening.

NEW POLLINATOR GARDEN COMING SOON!

More exciting news for gardening enthusiasts in Murrieta! The Murrieta Public Library is installing a new pollinator garden that promises to attract a range of beneficial insects and provide a beautiful space for the community to enjoy. This project is funded in part by a grant from the California State Library and by the Western Municipal Water District.

The new pollinator garden will feature a variety of native plants that are specifically chosen to attract pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. These plants not only provide food and habitat for pollinators but also add color and beauty to the garden.

The installation of the pollinator garden is part of the library’s commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. The library aims to create a space that not only benefits the community but also supports the local ecosystem. The new garden should be completed by the end of July.
