The Seed Library at the Round Valley Public Library

The Seed Library at the Round Valley Public Library Would you like to learn to grow food? We provide free seeds and education for community members. Our Seed Library offers seeds and education.

Our mission is to help nurture a thriving community of gardeners and seed savers, to increase our ability to feed ourselves wholesome food, and foster community resilience, self reliance, and a culture of sharing. Seeds at the Seed Library are free to members of our community. We encourage all members to learn basic seed-saving techniques so that you can return seeds to our library. That will allo

w us to keep the library well-stocked. If you are unable to save your own seeds, please consider donating a packet or two of fresh, commercially grown, open-pollinated (nonhybrid) seeds to keep our library self-sustaining. People have been saving seed for more than 12,000 years. However, in our culture, much seed-saving knowledge, along with significant biodiversity, has been lost over the last hundred years. When you grow, save, and share your own seed, you promote seed sovereignty by:

- Increasing the genetic diversity of your own seed stock
- Developing seed stock that is more resilient and better adapted to our particular climate and soil
- Perpetuating the knowledge and culture of seed saving
- Providing seed to others in our community

Our library has resources on gardening and seed saving available for check out.
