REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. – The Rehoboth Public Library is inviting families to its “Seeds n’ Reads” event on April 22 and 25, from 3 to 5 p.m. both days, to mark Earth Week with hands-on environmental activities. On Earth Day, April 22, participants can make biodegradable bird feeders from fruit peels, sculpt chia pets, and take part in seed planting, compost exploration, and a nature scavenger hunt led by ROOTS Farm & Forest School. The Arbor Day event on April 25 will focus on decorating and planting the library’s new mobile tower garden. Kids can also create and take home painted mini-gardens while enjoying themed treats called “worm cups,” made with pudding, crushed cookies, and gummy worms. Volunteers from the Sussex Gardeners and Village Improvement Association will assist with both events and share gardening tips and ways to get involved in community projects. The library is also launching a Seed Library starting April 22, offering up to four free packets of herbs and vegetables to library cardholders on Wednesdays and Fridays between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Events will be held in the library’s breezeway, rain or shine, with indoor backup plans in place for bad weather.
