On Saturday, July 18th, 2026 the Seaside Public Library will welcome Adaptive Innovator Aza Cody who will be presenting “ReGrow It! : Propagating grocery fruit and vegetables from seed, stem and root.” This event will take place at 2:00pm in the Community Room and is made possible by the generous support of the Seaside Library Friends & Foundation.
The “ReGrow It!” project demonstrates ways purchased herbs, fruits and vegetables can re-grow from sprouting seed, stem regeneration and root propagation. With real food props and illustrative slides, ideas will be presented to extend grocery budgets, inspire ingenuity, the novel use of resources, and creative thinking. Attendees will learn to grow it again and save money on produce and plants.
The presentation uses an “Experiment Approach” method intended to promote observation, concentration, and improvisation to develop a renewed sense of fun and excitement in the mysterious aspects of Nature. ReGrow It! experiments are economic, easy to start, fun to watch, edible, and there is no failure – only compost! Attendees are encouraged to bring a magnifying glass to get close up perspectives on the wonders of growing plants.
