Grab, grow and donate at Sunshine Coast Libraries Seed Library

Local libraries offer more than just books – lots more.

In fact Sunshine Coast Libraries have a Seed Library and it’s expanding this spring.

After the successful launch of the Seed Library at Maleny and Kawana Libraries in February 2023, Sunshine Coast Libraries are making it even easier for the community to take part in this sustainable seed swapping program.

From 16 September there will be a Seed Library at all eight library locations and two mobile libraries.

New and existing library members will be able to access a variety of seeds—completely free. Whether its looking to start a veggie garden, or grow vibrant flowers or natives, getting into gardening will be a breeze this Spring.

It’s easy to get involved. Grab up to 4 packets of seeds from the local library each month, grow them at home, and harvest some seeds to donate back into the Seed Library once the plants mature.

Ready to join the Seed Library? For more information visit a local Sunshine Coast Library or visit the website. Happy planting!
