Borrow seeds to grow!

It’s simple: please take only what you can grow at home this season and leave the rest for others.

How does the Innisfil Seed Library work?

The Innisfil Seed Library is a volunteer-run seed lending and education program that is free and open to everyone and located at the Cookstown and Lakeshore branches of the Innisfil ideaLAB & Library. Here’s how it works:

  1. Browse and select a few packets of vegetable, herb and flower seeds. Please take only what you can grow at home this season and leave the rest for others.

  2. Plant your seeds and enjoy! Get seed growing tips here.

  3. Harvest seeds from your healthiest plants. Get seed saving tips here.

  4. Return some of your saved seeds to the Innisfil Seed Library displays at the end of the season.
