A seed library lends or shares seed. The Port Colborne Public Library's Seed Library began in 2018 and provides quality heirloom seeds to the citizens of Port Colborne. We carry vegetable, herb, and flower seeds. Some seeds have more than one variety.
Our seed collection
Visit us to browse our collection of open-pollinated seeds and take home the varieties that interest you. Grow your plants through the summer. In the fall, save some seeds for us and share them with your library so we can start the cycle all over again.
Returning seeds
You can return or donate heirloom/open-pollinated seeds by following these easy steps:
- Collect seeds from your ripe heirloom vegetables.
- When dry, put the seeds into a container and label with the seed variety and year.
- Drop off your seeds to the library.
We will add them to the collection so that people can check them out next year.
