Mercy Library Seed Exchange

The Mercy Library in Oshkosh is offering a Seed Exchange, where garden enthusiasts can share seeds that grow well in their own local gardens.  

Participation in the project not only builds community, but also promotes sustainability among plants and pollinators.

1. Visit the Mercy Library (Oshkosh) to pick up seeds.
2. Grow your plants and enjoy the harvest.
3. After harvest, collect and share seeds with neighbors (if you like).

So far, we are offering the following flower seeds in The Mercy Library Seed Exchange:

• 4 O'Clocks (pink and yellow)
• Hollyhocks (mixed)
• Marigolds
• Moon Flower
• Pink Hibiscus
• Purple Cleome
• Purple Tall Balloon
• Swamp Milkweed
• Sweet Peas
