The 2025 Seed Library ran from March-June, and offered local growers the opportunity to borrow seeds for a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers. Now that autumn has arrived, it's time to collect seeds to restock next year's Seed Library! Join the Master Gardeners from the David Douglas Botanical Garden Society to learn how to collect, dry, clean, and store your seeds before returning them to the Seed Library, or for your own use! If you have already collected your seeds, you can also return them to the Seed Library at these events!
Missed the event? Seed Library seeds can be returned at either branch of the library any time we are open!
