Chesterfield Seed Library

A Seed Library is a free resource to Chesterfield patrons to borrow seeds for their gardens. Seeds are free to take — we simply ask that if you're able, you save seeds from your harvest and return them to help grow our collection for future gardeners.

  • A seed library is a community-driven, often free, resource where individuals can "check out" flower, herb, and vegetable seeds to plant, grow, and harvest.
