How to use the seed library

Come in to see what we have, or search our catalog for the specific seeds you're looking for.

• Seed packets are located on the left wall as you enter the main library, near the Patron Services desk.
• You may take an assortment of 15 different seed packets per family, per month.  Please do not take all the same variety of seeds; leave some for others to enjoy too.
• If the seeds you've gotten from us do well, consider saving some seeds from your mature plants and donating them back to our seed library.  Your contributions help to keep our seed library running, and provide seeds that are acclimated to our high altitude.
• New varieties of seeds will be added throughout the season.
