#California: ‘Seeking seed donations': The #Altadena #SeedLibrary looks ahead to #regrowth
Story by Alysia Gray Painter, January 13, 2025
"Following the Jan. 7 fire that swept through the city, growers and gardening groups are beginning to think about what is next, groups that include the Altadena Seed Library.
"This community is enormously dedicated to native plants, but also had many farmers and growers who lost generations of crops at community gardens and in backyards.
"#Wildlife coming down from the foothills has lost habitat and food. the air quality will be poor and temperatures will be higher without the lush greenery that protected us. not to mention the vast natural spaces that have burned and may benefit from help #reseeding.
"If you have seeds to spare — particularly native plants — please send a message. please share widely.
"Monetary donations are also requested, if you are able to donate.
"Seeds may be sent to 37 Auburn Ave. #8, Sierra Madre, CA 91024 c/o Altadena Seed Library."

@DoomsdaysCW Thanks! Hope they can get some donations!!
@DoomsdaysCW And remember to plant for the butterflies and bees. They will be a crucial part of re-greening.
@Fat_Farang Always! We have milkweed growing in our front yard, as well as flowers. Dandelions in early spring, flowering trees and bushes in spring, Cosmos and other flowers in the summer and fall. I even cover flowers at night, so my bee friends have things to eat even after the first frost.
