Seed Library

The Glen Rock Public Library makes available a variety of different seeds in packets for distribution at no cost to anyone. Such packets of seeds are collectively called our “Seed Library.” The purpose of the Seed Library is to foster self-reliance and resilience in our community, and the Library tries to focus the contents of the Seed Library on native plants, pollinators, and edible plants (vegetables, fruits herbs, etc.), with the goal of preventing hunger and promoting nutrition by providing seeds and educational materials to help seed recipients grow seeds into plants.

You can view our Seed Library Information Guide for what is available at the library. We try to keep this document as up-to-date as possible, but we cannot guarantee that any seeds listed will be available. This guide also includes information on native plants.

If donating seeds to the Library, seed donors are requested to provide the following information about the donated seeds:

a. Plant name.
b. Year seeds were harvested.
c. Donor’s name, phone/email (to answer any questions about the donated seeds).
d. Whether the seeds are heirloom.
e. Whether the seeds are organic.

The Library cannot accept seeds that aren’t marked with items a and b, but will accept seed donations without the information in c – e.

The Library will not knowingly accept treated seeds, patented seeds or seeds protected by the Plant Variety Protection Act.

Please see our full Seed Library Policy for more information.

Thank you to Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds for their generous donation of seeds for our library.
