Library's Offered Seeds for Public Gardening
Neuss, Germany - The Neuss City Library and the local environmental organisation, VEN, have joined forces to encourage residents to contribute to the preservation of plant diversity in their own gardens or on their balconies. This exciting project, which begins on March 1st, offers participants the chance to grow, tend to, and harvest a variety of plants, including "Shoshonen", "Swiss Giants", and "Date Palm".
Starting from the first day of March, the necessary seed for these plants will be available for free at the Neuss City Library. To participate, it is likely that one would need to visit the library, possibly register or sign a lending agreement, and borrow seeds for planting at home or community gardens. Once the plants have grown and seeds have been harvested, these should be returned to the library for future lending, supporting biodiversity.
VEN and the city library are expected to provide useful information to ensure successful gardening. This may include guidelines on planting times, soil preparation, and care for the seeds/living plants. Additionally, information about preserving plant diversity and the importance of using local or heirloom seed varieties will be shared. Tips on sustainable gardening practices to help maintain biodiversity in home or community gardens will also be provided.
Insects play a crucial role in pollinating the flowers in this project. For those interested in learning more about this project or seeking detailed information, the best course of action would be to contact Neuss City Library directly or check their official website or social media channels. Similarly, VEN, as a local environmental organisation, may have resources or events associated with the seed-lending project.

The Association for the Preservation of Useful Plant Diversity (VEN) has provided traditional varieties of five crop species (beans, peas, spinach, lettuce, and tomatoes) for this project. New seeds can be collected from the flowers and filled into prepared, labeled return bags to be returned to the Neuss City Library.
