What is a seed library? A seed library is often housed within a public library and runs in a very similar way. Instead of books, seeds are "rented" for free to gardeners, who are asked only to pay it forward by saving and returning some seed from the crop in a future year to the library. All of the seeds sold by Giving Ground Seeds are open-pollinated heirlooms that growers can save their own seeds from, making them perfect additions to seed libraries!
