    #Connecticut: Celebrate #WestHartford's '#SeedLibrary' At Saturday Celebration

    Story by Michael Lemanski, March 7, 2025

    WEST HARTFORD, CT — "If folks are looking for a sure sign of spring, they needn't look further than the #WestHartfordPublicLibrary's #NoahWebsterBranch this Saturday, March 8.

    "The Noah Webster Library, located at 20 S. Main St., West Hartford, is home to the 'Seed Library,' where gardeners can drop off and pick up new, unused seeds for free.

    "On Saturday, the library is hosting a special kickoff event to mark the start of the season for the popular Seed Library, which is a collaboration between the West Hartford Public Library and the West Hartford Garden Club.

    "The goal is to expand community access to seeds and support gardeners of all skill levels.

    "Saturday, guests will be able to select free seeds for their garden, consult with master gardeners, and enter a raffle for a chance to win gardening supplies.

    "Quantities of seeds are limited to three packets per person."

  5. “I could be misinterpreting the document, but there seems to be a general lack of enthusiasm for creating a safe bike infrastructure. Why? If we make biking the fastest way to safely get from point A to point B, people will bike. It’s been proven all over the world. Everyone complains about parking in West Hartford Center, for example. More people will bike if they feel safe doing so, and if the safest routes are the most direct routes” - bikewesthartford.org/jennifer-

  13. Exploring #WestHartford data from the 2023 Greater #Hartford Community #Wellbeing Index: ctinsider.com/news/article/wes

    It's helpful to acknowledge factors that contribute to quality of life, like intergenerational wealth. As @jackdougherty has shown, local wealth accumulation relates back to rules that prohibited Black people from living in large areas of #WeHa. (see ontheline.trincoll.edu/restric, and #redlining data/maps in the previous 2019 edition of our CWI).
