Seed Library
The Seed Library provides free and easy access to viable seeds to encourage as many people as possible to grow their own organic food and to save seeds through awareness and education. People plant the seeds in their gardens, raise the plant, let an appropriate amount go to seed and bring some of those mature seeds back to the library so that the collection continues to grow. Seed libraries reconnect us to the natural world, increase awareness and respect for seed farming, and where our food comes from.
