How does a seed library work?
Borrow
Choose the seeds you want to plant. Use scoops, envelopes, and labels to package them. Copy the planting instructions and take them home to grow.
Grow
Plant the seeds in your garden bed or containers. Follow the planting instructions for a successful result. Grow your veggies, fruit, and flowers until fully ripe.
Harvest
Collect mature seeds from your healthiest and tastiest fruits, flowers, and veggies. Make sure all seeds are fully dried and clean of dirt and debris.
Return
Place your seeds in a sealed envelope, jar, or container. Complete the form then bring it and the seeds to the seed library to share with your neighbors.
