SPL Seed Drive

The Southfield Library will be starting a seed library in the spring of 2023! But in order to do that, we need your help. From October 11th to October 23rd, we will be accepting donations of a variety of seeds. Come to the library’s Circulation Lobby and place your packaged seeds in the appropriate drop boxes.

Some guidelines for donations:

• Vegetable, herb and flower seeds only, please.
• When you arrive to deposit your seeds, you will fill out a form containing information such as the type of seed, source, year, growing conditions, etc.
• Organic, non-GMO seeds are preferred but we will take other types.

Here are some suggested plant types to get us started:
