Seeds packets at library

Coming 2021: our very own seed library!

Borrow, grow, return

Borrow seeds from the library, grow them in your garden, then return your saved seeds to the library in the fall.

Make a donation

We need your help to "grow" our inventory! Donations are being accepted now. Here's how you can help:

  1. Complete our seed library donation form, then attach the form to an envelope filled with the saved seeds.
  2. Drop your donation at any of our branches.

Quick facts

  1. The Seed Library is located in our Scotland-Oakland Branch.
  2. Choose from over 80 varieties of seeds.
  3. Patrons may borrow up to three seed packets at a time.
  4. At the end of the growing season, try your hand at seed saving, then donate the seeds back to the library. This creates an ongoing supply loop to fuel the seed library!
  5. Borrow a set of basic gardening tools to get started: 
    • Ergonomic gardening hand tools
    • Children's gardening hand tools
colourful gardening tools
