                        Richmond Grows Orientations
                        Watch our orientation on-line or attend an in-person orientation. This will allow you to come to the public library any time it's open and "borrow" seeds from Richmond Grows for free.

                        Orientation Schedule
                        All orientations are held at Richmond Grows Seed Lending Library, which is located in the main branch of the Richmond Public Library, 325 Civic Center Plaza, Richmond, CA.  All orientations are free. Attending an orientation will allow you to "borrow" seeds for free.

                        No in-person orientations September-January. Watch our on-line orientation below.

                        Richmond Grows es una "biblioteca" de semillas gratis: Orientacións en español
                        Lugar: La Biblioteca Publica de Richmond (Richmond Public Library), 325 Civic Center Plaza, Richmond, Calif..
                        Para ser miembro, asista a una orientación gratis de 45 minutos.  Una vez que complete la solicitud de membresía podrá prestar semillas gratis y empezar a sembrar. Después que las semillas geminen y produzcan, devuela parte de las semillas de su nueva planta a la "biblioteca" para prestarlas a otros miembros o jardineros.

                        Stories of Seeds 
                        Highlights from our Collection

                        Take a picture of a plant that you are saving seeds from. We want to hear your story of the plant you saved seeds from. Maybe let us know what dishes you made with it or share a favorite recipe using the plant. Each month we'd like to highlight something in our collection. You can submit your photos and a little write-up to RichmondGrows@gmail.com.
