Westbank Seed Library
Yes, you can borrow seeds from the Westbank Library, but eventually, we'd like some back! Borrow, grow, share, return! Borrow seeds, gorw the seeds, and share your harvest with those who are food insecure. Than save seeds from what you grew and return seeds so we can share them again next year.
NOW OPEN
How to return seeds
To return or donate seeds, follow these steps:
1. Harvest seeds from your heirloom vegetables in the fall; (Tip: refer to our seed saving step by step guide for how to)
2. Put the seeds into an envelope or container and clearly label it with the seed variety and year of harvest. (Tip: You can pick up envelopes at the Westbank Seed Library station);
3. Bring your labeled seeds to the Library and drop them off at the library service desk. They will be added to the collection so that other people will be able to check them out next year. Donate at least one packet of new seeds back to the library.
Follow us on Facebook for more Seed Saving Tips!
HAPPY GROWING!
