Seeds should be available in mid-March in all KDL branches and the Bookmobile.
KDL’s Seed Library offers a variety of vegetables, fruits, herbs, grain and flowers in sample packets to promote sustainability, healthy habits and environmental awareness. A large variety of seeds will be available, from the most basic tomatoes to unique produce such as Blue Lake Bush Beans, Buttergold Corn and Incredible F1 Melons. The Seed Library will also have a variety of flowers, with names like Fairy Meadow Flower Mix, Nasturtium and Moonflowers. We also offer fall produce such as squash, pumpkins, a variety of herbs and plenty of greens.
Through our partnership with the Michigan Seed Library Network, we will distribute the One Seed, One State seed selection, Little Finger Carrot. Please limit this to one per family, as it is an extremely limited supply.
As in the past, please limit your family selection to 3-5 sample packets taken from the KDL Seed Library.
What is a Seed Library?
A seed library is an institution that lends or shares seeds, for the benefit of nurturing and exposing patrons to classic and unique seeds. The KDL Seed Library is not a seed bank, meaning we do not accept and store donations from the public. If anyone is interested in harvesting and donating their seeds in the fall, please consider the opportunities of community gardens or the Michigan Seed Library Network.
Seeds for Spring 2025 provided by Botanical Interests, Hart’s Seeds, Livingston, and Seed Savers Exchange.
Our Volunteers
The seed library simply doesn't happen without the hours and hours of work completed by our wonderful volunteers. Thanks to all of them!
