Seed Library

Our Seed Library is reopening February 17, 2025!

You will find vegetable and flower seeds. We are open to the community. Tilth thanks Deep Harvest Seeds, Territorial Seeds, High Mowing Seeds, Seed Savers Exchange and Tilth members for their contributions.  Happy growing!

How It Works

  • Borrow seeds from the library to plant in your garden. Instructions are on the inside of the seed library door. We ask that you use the sign-out sheet when taking seeds as it helps us keep track of the most popular seed categories. Seeds will be replenished during the growing season. Please limit yourself to five seed packets per visit so that there is enough for all.

  • Tend and harvest the plants and enjoy the bounty.

  • Save as many seeds as you can to return to the library for the next growing season.

 By saving seeds, you participate in an age-old practice that builds a more resilient seed stock that is adapted to our local climate and soil. You also help pass on the culture of seed saving, as well as provide seeds to others in the community.

 To donate seeds, please contact Pam Nodus.

You can find the Seed Library mounted on the wall of the pump house—the small building just past our farm stand, on the left of the entry lane.
