NEW TO SAVING SEEDS?
Start with seeds which are easier to grow! These seeds are great for beginners and produce plants like the ones you planted. Such as:
Basil, beans, beets, carrots, chard, eggplant, leeks, lettuce, onions, parsley, peas, peppers, spinach, sunflowers, tomatoes.
More advanced seeds require special planning to preserve varietal purity. If certain precautions are not taken with them, then the next grower will not get the same plant. We want to ensure that the seeds that you return to the library are indeed what they claim to be.
OUR SEED LIBRARY
Our seed “catalog” is a repurposed library card catalog from our bygone days. You’ll find the seeds by type:
Vegetables
Flowers
Herbs

Find resources on the internet/website, seed/gardening books, DVDs, and seed saving charts and tips.
