Gladstone Regional Libraries has seed packets at most branches. Visit a library, choose packets of seeds, take them home, plant and grow!
A seed library lends seeds instead of books.
Step 1 – “Borrow” seeds for free
Step 2 – Plant and tend to your crops
Step 3 – Return some seeds from the yield. The return for this long-term loan is not fresh produce but seeds that can be made available for others to borrow.
The type of seeds available varies at each location and depends on the season. The four main types of seeds are Australian Natives, Flowers, Fruit & Veg, and Herbs. They are easily identified by their packet symbols (shown below).
The library is happy to accept donations of seeds. You will be required to fill in a seed donation form with as much detail about the plant(s) as possible.
Gladstone Regional Council is not accountable for the content of seed donations or any errors in the accompanying information.
