Take What You Need, or Get What You Need
The seeds are free to everyone, though folks are encouraged to only take what they will use. Recommended: five packets per person per visit. You can also use the coin envelopes in the bottom locker to take only a few seeds per packet of your desired varieties.
For community organizations, schools and community gardens who need more than a few seeds for a large garden project, please contact the N.C. Cooperative Extension- Lee County Office directly (919-775-5624) to speak to the horticulture agent to learn more.
Share in Your Bounty- How to Donate Seeds
Gardeners are also encouraged to save their own seeds from their prized vegetables and share them through the Seed Library. You can drop your seed packets off at the Library desk or at the Extension Office (2420 Tramway Road, Sanford, NC 27332), and we will put them into circulation.
