Grow Challenge 2024
TRY to grow at least one variety of herb or vegetable that you can’t find in a regular grocery store! (Walmart, Publix, Kroger, etc) Or TRY to grow a flower that you can’t find at Homedepot, Lowes, etc. This will not count against your 6 seed packet limit, but instead will be a 7th BONUS seed packet. Also, you will be entered into a raffle for the GRAND PRIZE at Garden, Grub, and Gab.
While you can check out multiple qualifying seed packets, only one will count towards the Grow Challenge per Seed Library Week.
