One Seed, One State Registration is Open
by Pam Quackenbush 23 Jan '25

23 Jan '25

Hello! The MI Seed Library Network is happy to announce that registration is now open for the 2025 One Seed, One State initiative. Our selection this year is 'Little Finger' baby carrot. Our first biennial vegetable selection, baby carrots are easy to grow, even in containers. Seed saving is more of a challenge, but it is also an opportunity for educating gardeners and expanding their skills. The seeds will ship beginning late February through March, which will allow plenty of time to publicize the program before planting time begins in April and May. Each library will receive a bulk packet with enough carrot seeds for 60 packets. It is totally up to each library how many packets you want to distribute. Fewer packets = larger portions. You will receive digital files for the poster, brochure, seed packet labels, and instructions by email when the seeds ship. Preview the color poster at https://miseedlibrary.org/?page_id=389 Libraries provide their own seed packets and printed materials for the program. Please note the following: In order to sustain this ever-growing program we desperately need volunteers to share the load. This year you will have the option on the registration form to volunteer to become a co-op captain. Co-op captains will take responsibility for receiving a bulk packet of seeds for each participating library in their co-op and forwarding them to the registered libraries through their co-op’s library delivery. This should speed up the delivery process immensely since I can only send out a limited number each week working alone. We will see how it works this year as we decide the fate of this program moving forward. I will reach out to volunteers as soon as the majority of registrations have arrived. Individual seed libraries please register using this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdJMtlZis1P6WqqBrdZsM28Q0FJBnti2ws… Some library systems prefer to receive and handle OSOS materials for their branch seed libraries at a central location. You receive enough seeds so each branch has enough for 60 packets. If this works for you, please have one designated person apply for all the branches using the following registration form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScRlA3FTvXBM_aH1MchwNac-yrmyRTYeeI… If you have multiple branches but you want each branch to handle their own One Seed, One State materials, have each branch register as an individual seed library. Thank you for reading this lengthy email. Please forward it to anyone you feel should have this information. As always, please direct your questions to info(a)miseedlibrarynetwork.org. Our apologies for cross posting as we roll out this information to various listservs and mailing lists in an effort to reach all interested parties. Thank you for your interest in the MI Seed Library Network's One Seed, One State!
