Ely Seed Lending Library

I just repackaged some pea seeds. Who is getting things ready outside?

Who has a story about the pandemic and derecho? (Answer: we all do.) We are developing future programming at EPL designed to reconnect the community once the du...st settles, and we are collecting your 2-5 minute video stories (nothing fancy or polished, just record from your phone). Please help us gather some narratives from this time before we "get back to normal." More details and the submission link are here: https://forms.gle/EsPeSpJvRz1a3D4V8 Call the library at 319-848-7616 with any questions.

The Ely Seed Lending Library just received a huge seed donation. Seeds are free and we have plenty of gardening books for checkout!

Thanks for the seed donation Nature and Nurture Seeds ! Our community will be exciting to plant these. Their website is at buff.ly/3rnpIA9. @nnseeds

Can anyone identify these flower seeds?

I am an active monarch butterfly supporter. If you are planning on adding to your flower gardens, please consider planting for the monarchs (and other pollinat...ors too), please take a look at this link. ....... In the 1990s, hundreds of millions of monarchs made the epic flight each fall from the northern plains of the U.S. and Canada to overwintering sites in the oyamel fir forests in central Mexico. Since then they have DECLINED BY 80%! We can all help them! See more
