Join us for a fun "choose your own adventure" seed selection and planting of your own kitchen herbs!

Are you tired of spending money on herbs at the grocery store for one use? Join us at the library for a free program where you select herb seeds you would like to plant and grow in your very own home for multiple uses. Just bring yourself, your green thumb, and have fun! 

All supplies and growing tips will be provided by the librarians, thanks to the Friends of Duncan! Join and become a member today to help support your local library! 📚
