The Community Seed Network’s mission is to support community-led seed stewardship by offering a platform to connect people to projects, projects to each other, and everyone to seed. Through great conversations and the sharing of resources, we hope to make this work visible locally, regionally, and internationally, empowering community seed leaders as trailblazers and movement builders.
A seed library is a public collection of seeds where anyone can “borrow” small quantities of seeds and grow them out. If the resulting seeds are saved, some of them can be returned to the library for the next grower! Seed libraries are usually small-scale, focused on education, outreach and community building … and, they are not always in book libraries! Seed libraries can be mobile, or located in recreation centres, community gardens, or anywhere! - Seed Savers Exchange
