Friends of the Arts

The Good Ground Seed Library, established in March 2017 and located within the Hampton Bays Public Library, serves as a community hub for seed sharing and preservation. By promoting locally adapted plant varieties, the library increases biodiversity and helps combat the loss of plant gene integrity associated with commercially produced seeds. Community members can borrow up to five packets of heirloom and open-pollinated seeds each month, with a focus on sustainable gardening practices. The library encourages seed saving and donations, fostering a collaborative environment where gardeners can share their successes and contribute to the collective knowledge of plant cultivation.
