We are happy to accept donations of open-pollinated, heirloom, and/or locally saved seeds in any quantity—even seeds from left-over purchased seed packets can be shared!

 

Commercial Seed Donations
    • If you would like to donate leftover commercial (store-bought) seeds, please tape shut the seed packet and place it in the donation box.

 

Home Grown Seed Donations
    • Home grown seeds are accepted as long as they are not hybrid seeds.
    • Please make sure seeds are collected from mature plants and dried correctly.
    • Include the following information on the seed package:
   - Plant Name    - Sun Requirements    - Planting Depth & Spacing &   - Harvest Date
    • Tape the seed packet shut and place in donation box.

 

* We do not recommend donating seeds more than one year old. Please note that hybrid seeds and seeds saved from grocery store produce are not suitable for the Seed Library.
