When the growing season is over, harvest your seeds and return a portion of them to the library, to help keep the seed library self-sustaining. Donations are accepted at any library location.
Only open-pollinated heirloom (non-hybrid, non-GMO) pesticide-free seeds, which are less then 4 years old are accepted. Seeds should be clean and labelled with the seed type, year grown, and the location where it was grown.
Important note: Do not save seeds from plants grown from hybrid seeds. Seeds from these plants will not produce plants like the parent plant, and will not grow true-to-type.
Watch here for new programs!
The Mississauga Seed Library provides the public with free access to open-pollinated and non GMO seeds. It aims to support local food systems, build seed saving literacy, and promote locally adapted plant genetics. Join a growing community.
The Mississauga Seed Library order form is open. When your seeds are ready, you will receive an email with instructions on how to pick up your seeds. Please be aware that the seed list is subject to change due to availability and your preferred selections may become unavailable.
