Seed Library | Wickson District Library

Our Mission:

To empower our community through sustainable agriculture, the Wickson Seed Library is dedicated to fostering a culture of seed sharing, education, and environmental stewardship.

Our mission is to provide accessible and diverse seed resources, cultivate a passion for gardening, and promote the preservation of heirloom and locally adapted plant varieties.

Through collaboration and community engagement, we aim to inspire individuals to become active participants in seed conservation, fostering resilience and biodiversity for future generations.

How Does the Seed Library Work?

In March we will have the annual seed library available for patrons to come and check out seeds. Each patron takes home with seeds, plants the seeds, and then enjoys their harvest. We encourage everyone to try to save some of their seeds and return them to the library.

Returing seeds is not required to check out seeds from the seed lending library.

Wickson Seed Library Partnership

The Wickson Seed Library operates through a collaboration between the Frankenmuth Wickson Library and the 4-H Patriots Club. The 4-H Patriots Club plays a crucial role in sorting, labeling, and maintaining the organization of the seed library for the benefit of our patrons. We express our gratitude to them for their dedicated hours of community service, enabling us to provide the Wickson Seed Library to the community.
