Each month Somers Library will feature a different spice or herb for you to try in your cooking. The kit will include three recipe cards which range in skill level and over the months you can collect all the cards. Check back each month to see what is in our newest kit. You will have to sign up each month.
This month they are featuring dill which has an interesting history and health benefits.
Quantities are limited and we ask that you sign up for one bag per family. You can pick up your kit at the Somers Library Reference desk starting August 14th.
PLUS: Don't forget about the Somers Seed Lending Library. It is a free community heirloom seed lending project, demonstrating that libraries check out more than books! The idea is simple. Growers get enough seed to grow 3-4 plants from the seed catalog located behind the Reference Desk, record what they are taking with them as well as basic contact information for later in the season. Then they grow their plants during the season. At the end of the growing season for that plant, the grower harvests as usual, but saves some of the seed for next season, and returns a portion, usually 2-3 times the starting amount (or more) to the seed library to continue the cycle.
