Seed Library 

The Seed Library has returned to both Cedar Mill and Bethany Libraries! Free seeds are available to anyone hoping to start or expand their own garden and make our community greener and more pollinator friendly. We ask that each household only take up to three seed packets per month.

We are also accepting donations of both commercially grown seed packets and seeds you’ve saved from your own garden! Our seed library runs entirely on donations and we are grateful for all your support. Please visit our website to learn more about our donation guidelines.
