Seed Library

What is a Seed Library?

All life needs plants. RBG is dedicated to connecting people to plants. A seed library is one way to nurture that connection. Members of the public can check out seeds, grow up plants, and then collect seeds and return them to the library. For several years our volunteers have been working to provide seeds that the public can borrow, grow, and then return.

If you are new to gardening, interested in growing a greater diversity of plants, or invested in supporting a community of growers, a seed library can help you meet those goals.

Thank you for the support the seed library has received over the years. At this time, the seed library is no longer available. We appreciate the interest it inspired and encourage you to check back for any future updates.

In the mean time, please check out the Hamilton Seed Library operated by Green Venture.
