Build your seed saving skills by learning how to save the right seed, prepare seeds for storage, monitor seed quality and grow from seed. Take inspiration from the thriving community garden, meet the resident chickens, and take home a seed starter and a selection of seeds from the Newcastle Seed Library for your garden.

The Newcastle Seed Library is a new community run initiative of Newcastle Libraries, individual community volunteers and community gardens across the LGA. It is like a regular library, yet for seeds.

The Seed Library is free for library members – they are able to take home some seeds, just as they would borrow a book. After growing in their garden, they are encouraged to harvest and return seeds to the Seed Library for others to borrow.
