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.
