What is a Seed Library?

A seed library collection is where the library lends seeds instead of books.

Step 1 – “Borrow” seeds for free

Step 2 – Plant and tend to your crops

Step 3 – The return on this long-term loan is not fresh produce but instead return some seeds from the yield. These seeds are then made available for members to plant next season.

The type of seeds available varies at each location and depending on season but the four main types of seeds are Australian Natives, Flowers, Fruit & Vege and Herbs and easily identifiable by their packet symbols.
