Each class will cover the basics of growing in your area: climate & microclimates; best trees, shrubs, flowers and grass species as well as basics for veggie gardening. These classes are offered free of charge but donations toward our program fund is appreciated.

The SMB Regional Seed Library is restocked and at the Norwood Library! In a week or so, we will have another seed library at the Naturita Library as well as a box of free seeds at the Telluride Library.
The main goals of the seed library are:
- To provide seeds of plants that do well in our area for our community members.
- To grow more seed savers and a source of regionally adapted seed, donated by local seed savers.
You don’t have to donate seed to the seed library to get seeds, but it would be great if you did! We have all you need to help you save seeds successfully, just get in touch!
See our Seed Library brochure for more information.
