Mount Wachusett is Launching “The Mount Seed Library” on Earth Day
Mount Wachusett Community College will officially launch the Mount Seed Library on Tuesday, April 22nd in honor of Earth Day.
In a Press Release, MWCC noted: Co-sponsored by the MWCC LaChance Library and the Environmental Conservation and Regenerative Agriculture Program, The Mount Seed Library will be a resource for the community to “check out” seeds (saving and returning seeds is optional), encouraging biodiversity and promoting sustainability and community engagement through seed sharing, seed saving, and education.”
The Mount Seed Library founding will be celebrated with a launch and a seed swap event from 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the LaChance Library. The event is open to students, faculty, staff, and the broader community. Attendees are invited to bring seeds to swap, enjoy refreshments, and explore the new library.
In addition to the seed library launch, MWCC will celebrate Earth Day with a Farmer’s Market from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm in the Commons, and a workshop on seed starting with recycled materials from 4:30 to 5:30 pm in the LaChance Library.
The Mount Seed Library is the result of a collaborative, campus-wide effort involving MWCC staff and students, CAPS Collaborative students, and faculty in the environmental programs. The initiative also benefits from the guidance of librarians at the Mass Aggie Seed Library at UMass Amherst.
The library’s initial collection includes hundreds of seeds generously donated by The Good Earth Farm and Garden Center in Gardner, as well as seeds grown and harvested at the MWCC Greenhouse. Aubuchon Hardware in Gardner has also pledged future seed donations.
“The Mount Seed Library reflects our commitment to sustainability, education, and community connection,” said MWCC President James Vander Hooven. “It’s a resource that empowers individuals to grow their own food while learning about environmental stewardship.”
