Donate seeds.

Thank you for donating seeds to the Innisfil Seed Library. We rely on seed donations each season to remain sustainable and as local as possible.

 

What to donate

  • Open-pollinated, nonhybrid vegetable, herb and flower seeds.

  • Heirloom seed donations are greatly appreciated and help keep these old varieties alive!

  • Ensure your seeds are mature and completely dry before donating.

  • Check for seed viability before donating seeds.

How to package seed donations

  • If donating harvested seeds from your garden, package (in envelopes, bags, etc.) and label donations with seed name, variety if known, harvest year and city.

  • If donating commercial seeds, include the original packaging if possible.

  • Be sure your packages are sealed to prevent spilling.

Where to drop off seed donations

  • Drop off donations in person at the seed library displays at the Cookstown and Lakeshore Branches of the Innisfil ideaLAB & Library during regular business hours.

  • If the seed donation bins are full, please drop off your donations at the customer service desk.
