Seed Library

The Seed Library at Winter Park Library increases access to seeds fostering a gardening community and expanding individual capacity for food sustainability. Through experiential learning we teach others to grow herbs, flowers, and food sustainably no matter the garden size or type.

Using the Seed Library

The Seed Library is a self-serve collection available to anyone. Members of the public are able to gather 5 seed packets per month to take home and grow, while supplies last. Each packet is labeled with growing information to help make gardening as easy as possible. Then, plant the seeds in your garden and enjoy the fruits (and vegetables) of your labor.

Do I have to return the seeds?

No! Please use the seeds in your garden.

When will you get new seeds?

The Seed Library will restock at the beginning of the fall, winter, and spring growing seasons. We will update the website when new seed are available. Stay tuned!
