Seed Lending Library (Year Round)
How Does it Work?
Patrons can take up to 5 packets of seeds per visit, this will allow as many people as possible to use this service.
Take your seeds home, plant them and enjoy growing, harvesting and eating your crops. If you wish to save some of your seeds to donate to the Seed Library you can collect them at the end of the growing season or as the plants produce seeds.
How Do You Donate or Return Your Seeds?
Once you have collected seeds from your crop, set some aside for yourself and the library if you wish to return some. You must let your seeds dry before storing them in paper envelops in a cool dry place.
We will accept seeds returned in their original envelop, or an envelope labeled with the following information:
Common Name
Days to Maturity
Year Saved
Location Grown
Drop your seeds off to a staff member any time.
We will also take donations of new packages of seeds including vegetables, herbs, flowers and fruit to help us add to our collection.
For more information, check out our seed lending library pamphlet.
