Central Branch

Friends of the Library Gather Space

For ages 14 and up. Join us in the Gather/Create Space to learn a useful hands-on skill taught by a community expert. No previous experience necessary.

Learn how to grow, save and share seeds to contribute to climate-resilient, sustainable food systems. Join Cathy Christie from the Kingston Area Seed System Initiative (KASSI) as we explore why and how we can save seeds for the future. Participants will be able to take seeds home.

KASSI is a non-profit organization founded by local farmers, backyard and market gardeners, and concerned community members. We want to increase seed and thereby, food sovereignty for the Kingston region. To learn more about KASSI and their initiative, click here.

This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Kingston Frontenac Public Library.
