The Rochester Public Library Seed Library officially kicks off for 2025 on Saturday, March 1, with an Open House from 10:30am-4:00pm.

The RPL Seed Library and over 10,000 seed packets return for our seventh year.

The Seed Library offers free, open-pollinated seeds and resources for planting, growing, harvesting, and seed saving. Grow your own food and return your saved seeds to share with the community if you are able.

1. CHOOSE what you can use. No check out required. Limit to 15 seed packets per person.
2. GROW what you brought home.
3. SAVE seeds from what you grew and bring back to the Seed Library for others to use
