Build a seed library cabinet for an invited Hazard community site

Eastern Kentucky's garden culture survived the floods better than its garden budgets did, and seed cost now decides who plants. A built, stocked seed library cabinet at an invited community site — library, church hall, extension office — keeps the mountain practice of saving and sharing seed organized and free. Standard: Community seed library practice per Seed Savers Exchange + KY Extension; SDG 2. Proof: Finished cabinet photos with stocked inventory and signage Method (Community seed library practice per Seed Savers Exchange + KY Extension; SDG 2.): 1. Confirm the host site invitation and the cabinet location indoors. 2. Build or refit the cabinet with labeled drawers or bins by crop type. 3. Stock the opening inventory from the host's donated seed, packed and labeled. 4. Post the simple take-some-leave-some instructions. 5. Photograph the finished stocked cabinet and signage with GPS and date. Done when: Finished cabinet photos with stocked inventory and signage

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 60–120 minutes. Method of record: Michelin Green Star-style 7-criterion sustainability scorecard

Bring

• tablet/clipboard
• camera
• scale (waste weighing scope)
• 7-criterion rubric

Steps

1. 1. Confirm the site + address; arrange a staff escort for back-of-house.
2. 2. Photograph evidence for each criterion: sourcing, waste stream, energy, water, procurement records, seasonality, team practices.
3. 3. Score each of the 7 criteria against the rubric with an evidence note.
4. 4. For a waste audit, weigh or estimate food waste for one service and identify recovery/donation options.
5. 5. Rank the highest-impact improvement recommendations.
6. 6. Enter scores, evidence notes, waste data, recommendations, photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Food-safety or hygiene hazard observed -> note and defer to staff; documentation only.
• Significant edible waste -> recommend the EPA Food Recovery Hierarchy (donation before disposal).

What counts as done

• Score recorded for each of the 7 criteria with an evidence note
• Food-waste weight/volume recorded (waste-audit scope)
• Recovery/donation options identified (waste scope)
• Ranked improvement recommendations + photos + address confirm

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
