About
Green line

Whether you’re an experienced gardener or just getting started, the APL Seed Library offers a variety of vegetable and herb seeds at no cost. Take what you need to support local biodiversity and explore new plants in your own backyard!

How It Works
Seeds are available at the Main Library during the growing season. While you aren't required to return them, we gladly accept donations of extra seeds or seeds collected from your harvest to help keep our collection growing.
