Welcome to our seed LIBRARY
The purpose of the Seed Library is to establish an ever growing and curated depository of fruit, vegetable, flower and herb seeds at no cost to the Leonia community and to provide information, instruction and programming about sustainable gardening.
Choose Your Free Seeds!
Stop by the library and see what seeds we have available! Pick up your seeds at the Main Circulation Desk.
After you’ve requested your seeds, please feel free to share what you have grown to our Instagram or Facebook, with the #leoniaseedlibrary. We can’t wait to see what you’ve grown!
ENJOY YOUR SEEDS!
Edible crops should only be planted in soil that has been tested for heavy metals.
Using raised beds or containers with clean compost or soil is recommended.
Please note:
Due to limited quantities, packets of seeds are limited to three per person. Flower seed packets are limited to one per week.
These seeds may not be re-sold.
The Seed Library accepts donations of fruit, vegetable, herb and flower seeds from commercial companies, seed banks and other local partner organizations with a shared interest in seed collection. Donated seeds are packaged commercially and not listed as invasive species or noxious weeds by the New Jersey Department of Agriculture. At this time we are not accepting seed donations from individuals.
