To help you in the journey of protecting seed and seed saving your local seed library can be super helpful.

​

"The Seed Library benefits individuals and the community. You can obtain free seeds for your garden and help build a collection of seeds for others.

​

Sharing seeds through the Seed Library will help preserve rare, tasty and heritage varieties for gardeners in our community. Through the return of successful seeds, over time a collection adapted to local conditions (climate, pests, soils, etc) can be achieved, strengthening the biodiversity and food security of our local community.

​

Growing from the Seed Library is a great way to teach children about the life cycle of plants, while learning new seed-saving skills yourself."
