Are you interested in growing a garden but don't have a lot of space? Join us and learn about small-space gardening!

Join the Polk County Master Gardener Volunteers at the Crookston Public Library to learn about small-space gardening! Learn everything from what types of containers/ spaces you can use, how you should prepare your soil, which plants grow best in small-spaces, and more! This program is intended for both gardening beginners and pros.

Come prepared with your questions, and enthusiasm for gardening!


Visit the Crookston Public Libraries Seed Library! It is open March 21st, 2026 to July 31st, 2026. The Seed Library offers free garden seeds to members of our community while supplies are available. We encourage gardeners to also grow the seed library by donating any leftover seeds from the previous year or at the end of the current year, so we can distribute them to more members of the community.

(We currently accept donations of vegetable, herb and flower plant seeds.)

 

The Seed Library is made possible thanks to seed donations from the Family Resource Center (FRC) and the support of the Polk County Master Gardener Volunteers.
