Seed Library
 

“If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.”


― Cicero

2024 SEED LIBRARY IS OPEN!

What is a Seed Library?

A Seed Library is a collection of seeds that you can borrow to plant and grow food, herbs, and flowers at home.

After your plants mature and "go to seed," you save the seeds and return them to be shared with others.

Try something new and get in the garden! 

 

FAQ
