Welcome To Your Library

New Seed Library

Amateur and experienced gardeners alike can “borrow” seeds from Helen Plum Library to take home, grow, and enjoy. At the end of the growing season, participants are asked to save some seeds from their plants and share them by donating them to the Library for others to grow. Learn about inventory, how to donate, and more.
