About this service
Mission Statement of the Seed Library: Borrow grow harvest and share!
The Library has many resources for you to learn how to seed and garden.
What is a Seed Library?
The C.M. Shields Centennial Library is creating a depository of open-pollinated local heirloom seeds. These seeds will be available to patrons who register for this service. Patrons will be allowed to borrow seeds. Once the seeds are grown in the garden, borrowers will endeavour to allow a few of these plants to seed. These seeds will then be harvested and returned to the library to replenish the Seed Librarys stock and for sharing with other members.
Why create a Seed Library?
Seed saving is very important to our community and is significant to the local biodiversity that has been lost over the years. This practice creates a resilient community that will enable a culture of preserving and sharing of local heirloom seeds with likeminded individuals.
