Seed Library

Seeds @ HPL is a collection of heirloom and organic seeds that have been saved and donated by community members just like you. Whether you are a master gardener or just beginning your seedy adventures, we encourage you to borrow seeds from our library to plant your garden. Once your plants have grown and produced their own seeds, harvest some and bring them back to the Library to continue the cycle for years to come.

How it Works

1. Borrow: choose up to three varieties of seeds you would like to borrow from the Library.
2. Grow: plant these seeds in your garden and let them grow. You can enjoy the harvest of many vegetables throughout the summer. Just make sure to let a few plants ripen fully into seeds.
3. Return: Collect the ripe seeds from your garden, dry them out and return them to the Library in the fall.

Request Seeds

1. The seed library is here to get you started on your gardening adventures. Choose up to three different kinds of seeds to grow from our Seed Inventory below.
2. Send an email to Cortney LeGros with your choices.
3. Wait for a confirmation email from Cortney with instructions on when you can pick your seeds up through Library-to-Go Service.
