Seed library

Seed libraries offer the community access to grab, grow and donate seeds in a sustainable way. The Seed Library is free and open to anyone with a library membership. Similar to your usual library borrowing experience, a seed library allows the community to “borrow” seeds from library to grow at home, and return some seeds once the plant has matured.

Donations can be made into the donations box with any available resource – example: an old envelope, a paper bag, a zip lock bag, or the supplied Seed Library envelopes. Remember to include information about the variety, collection date and growth conditions to ensure the seeds can be saved and sorted. You can donate a variety of seeds including fruit, vegetables, herbs, flowers and natives.
