How it Works:
The Seed Library is an Exchange Program for our shared community experience. We provide non-GMO, heirloom seeds that you can take home after your sign them out. Then, you plant the seeds and harvest your crop. We ask that you save some different varieties of seeds and return them to the library to share with others. We have a Sign-Out Book for you to check out seeds. We also have blank “Saved Seed” envelopes for packaging and returning three new seed varieties. There are in-house informational books and materials about gardening for you to peruse in our display area while you are here and even more information on free Seed Sharing programs and other resources for gardening. Pictures of your garden are also welcome to share in our community photo album as you share your Seed Exchange Experience.
