Find Seeds at Your Local Seed Library
San José Public Library's Seed Libraries offer seeds to the public for free. Seed libraries were created in response to a growing need in the community for locally adapted seeds. Seed libraries also help with climate change, loss of seed integrity, and to preserve genetic diversity.
You can help our community build a sustainable food network. Visit one of our seed libraries: Take, donate, and return seeds.
