Thank you for your interest in donating seeds! 

The Seed Library is currently accepting open-pollinated or heirloom seeds. Here's how to donate seeds:

Seeds you have grown/collected yourself:

• Label with your name and seed name and bring clean, dry and ready to be packaged or pre packaged seeds to the Public Service Desk at Cole, Dove or the Learning Center.

Commercially packaged seeds may also be donated. Open-pollinated or heirloom varieties are requested.  Donated GMO or Hybrid seeds will be distributed outside the Seed Library. (A donation form is not needed for these donations.)

• Why no GMO or Hybrid Seeds? These seeds may not produce plants exactly like the parent plant. They may produce something somewhat close or very different. They can be grown for food, but not for saving for the Seed Library.
• Open-pollinated or heirloom seeds will be "true-to-type" if saved and grown again.
