Our seed library allows our community members to create greener spaces, encourages people to grow their own fresh produce, and facilitates community learning while promoting food sustainability. We have brought in a variety of seeds, including many that are container-friendly. We also have a small supply of older seeds available from various sources, including local Westcoast seeds and McKenzie Seeds.
How it works:
We offer a wide range of vegetable and flower seeds, both new and old, that are from various sources. If you wish to place an order, you can request an order sheet in person, via phone, or email, or simply download it from our FNPL website. The order form includes instructions for selecting the seeds you want. Once you submit your seed order to our staff, they will process your request and arrange a pick-up time. Please note that seed orders are processed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Saving Seeds:
At harvest time, please take extra steps to save seeds for others and return them to the library for us to distribute next year. The more seeds we save, the more members of our community can experience the joy of growing their own food.
