Seed Library |
The Seed Library is a free, community-driven seed borrowing system that provides an opportunity for people to grow their own healthy food. Library card holders borrow vegetable and herb seeds that they plant, grow, and harvest while letting a few plants mature and return to seed. Borrowers then return these new seeds to the Library collection. By returning seeds from successful plants, local gardeners help sustain the Library's collection. Learn more about the Seed Library. |
