Spring is here! Celebrate the change in seasons by getting your garden started using our Seed Library, Master Gardener series, digital items and more.
What is the Seed Library, and how does it work?
-
With your TCCL card, you can check out up to 15 packets of seeds to plant in your in- or outdoor garden. Save seed from the best plants and return it to the library for others!
-
All of our seeds are open-pollinated and most are heirloom. We strive to foster locally adapted varieties and by saving seeds you make them even more locally adapted. Seed saving does take a little bit of know-how, but we try to make it simple for you. Seeds are ranked by ease of seed-saving and we have lots of tips, links and books for you to learn more.
-
Browse the Seed Library here and place your seeds on hold to pick up at your nearest TCCL branch!
