9. WYLIE HOUSE REOPENS WITH HEIRLOOM SEED SALE
Wylie House Museum opens its 1996 tour season on Saturday, March 2, from 10 AM to 4 PM with a Seed Sale aimed at inspiring local gardeners to grow heirloom varieties and teaching them to save their own seeds.
At 11AM and 2PM, Curator Bonnie Williams will present hour-long classes for adults on how to save seeds. A 30-minute session for kids will start at 1 PM and will present basic ideas about seed saving and biodiversity with fun activities and stories.
The sale table will offer seeds from antique flowers and vegetables grown at Wylie House, while the seed swap table will give local seed savers an opportunity to exchange free seeds from their own gardens. (Seed swappers are asked to bring seeds that have been properly stored, labelled, and not more than two years old.)
The information table with heirloom gardening books, seed-saving manuals, and catalogs from heirloom seed suppliers will prove helpful to beginning gardener and veterans alike.
Wylie House is located at 307 E. 2nd Street. The museum is handicap accessible from the drive just east of the house. Regular tour hours are Tuesday through Saturday 1-4 PM March through November. For more information, call 855-6224 or e-mail BVWILLIA.
