Gideon's Little Free Library

🌻 A quick note about the sunflowers 🌻

Hey neighbors! You’ve probably seen the sunflowers blooming next to our Little Free Library. They’re here for the bees, butterflies, and the whole neighborhood to enjoy, not just for looks, but to go to seed so we can share FREE sunflower seeds with EVERYONE later this year !! 🌱

Lately, someone has been pulling up our yellow sunflowers by the roots, and even accidentally tore out an okra plant, which was just left tossed on the ground 💔

If you’d like a FREE sunflower, zinnia, or a small bouquet to have, we’re outside at 7 PM every evening, and would love to cut one for you properly🌼

💡 Please don’t grab or rip flowers, it damages the plants, takes away from the pollinators, and removes something meant for the whole community. Plus, our sunflowers are full of bees right now, so you might end up with a bee sting instead of a bouquet 🐝😬

We’ve also added cameras near the garden to help protect it. Thanks for helping us care for this little space. 💚

Today is the 3rd Anniversary of Gideon's library and what would have been Gideon's 4th Birthday.

We added new books and restocked the seed Library with new seeds! Thank you for all of your support I'm so happy to see the community enjoying the library and all of the growth that has happened in the past 3 years! Looking forward to the growth this year will bring.
