Happy March, Gardeners!

There have been some wonderful developments in the works for this year. And all of them are because of our wonderful Sandy Seed Library volunteers.

First, I would like to share that we have a new garden club that will be meeting in the library every 4th Monday, from 6:30 to 8pm. This group will be led by our volunteer Leslie. There has been a lot of expressed interest for a gardening club that meets on a weeknight to accommodate those that have traditional work schedules. I am grateful to Leslie for initiating a way for members of the community to come together face to face.

Second, you might have noticed a new logo on this email. Another one of our fabulous volunteers, Adrienne, helped me with my vision of giving our seed library a branding refresh. There were a few things that we wanted to achieve: we wanted to have our own, unique feel while also tying in with LINCC's recent rebranding as well as with that of the City of Sandy, and at the same time we wanted to honor our past and also celebrate our home within the library. Adrienne came up with this delightful logo design that keeps our original carrot, honoring our founder Susie, and acknowledges our place in the library with the book.

Finally, I have diligently been getting seeds into the cabinet. So far VEG:A-BEANS are out, and by the time you read this I am hoping that all VEG:C-CORN will be there.
