Lodi Seed Lending Library

Welcome to the Lodi Public Library's Seed Lending Library!

"Take some seeds, Share some seeds!"

What is a Seed Lending Library?

The Lodi Public Library's Seed Lending Library is a community seed exchange in which borrowers are able to "check out" seeds from a wide selection of vegetable and flower seeds to plant in their home gardens. It is a great way for anyone of any age to get introduced to world of gardening.

How does it work?

• You "check out" a packet of seeds
  • If you don't want to check out a full packet of seeds, we have small envelopes to split off what you want.
• Plant them
• Let some go to seed
• Return some seeds that you have grown, purchased, or been given and add them into our seed library
• No fines for unreturned seeds
