Seed Library 2024 Draft
What is a Seed Library?
The South Burlington Seed Library is a free program committed to contributing to and supporting gardeners of all skill levels. We are a hub for local seed exchange and garden education.
Patrons can “borrow” from our inventory of open-pollinated and heirloom seeds to grow at home. Seeds currently in stock are donations or discounted packets from seed companies such as High Mowing Organic Seeds plus non-GMO seeds grown by local gardeners. Our volunteers repackage seeds into smaller quantities. At the end of the season, gardeners can, but are not required to, “return” seeds that they saved from the plants they grew.
The Seed Library also organizes and promotes educational events and resources relevant to gardening, seed saving, and local food.
