Los Alamos Community Seed Library

Los Alamos Community Seed Library cultivates a community culture of life-long learning and sharing through seed stewardship:

Learn – we connect community gardeners from beginner to expert with resources, information, and programs about growing, harvesting, and saving seeds that tie us to local history, land, and culture.

Save – we support seed stewardship through the saving and exchanging of locally adapted, regional, and heirloom seeds that contribute to local biodiversity.

Share – we aim to establish and grow an accessible and sustainable source of seeds supplied by and for the community through exchange, donations, and lending.
