INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Public Library is committed to helping families learn about home gardening, and providing seeds to start. While it will be a month or so before gardening can begin, libraries on the east side will be offering workshops and information about working the soil. In addition, volunteers are needed to pack seeds ready for distribution. Visit indypl.org to register for these programs.
