It’s that time of year!

Our seed packers have been working hard and have packed nearly 6,000 envelopes for Fall and Winter seeds that will hit the libraries this week. All our libraries are curated by season because our seed librarians make sure what you find in the library is what you can plant now. We want you to be successful!

Happy Fall and Winter Planting!

BTW - Thank you to the Alameda Rotary Club for providing us with a grant so that we could purchase a fancy printer that allows us to print directly onto our envelopes (no more wasteful labels).

Growing community one seed packet at a time!

It was great helping out packing the seeds. Met some awesome people. More than happy to help if needed.

Thank you! I appreciate the seeds!

Could you please share the location of the seed libraries? Our 5 year old is really into gardening (just told us his dream job is to be a farmer) and would love to check it out with him! Thanks for doing this.

Thanks for all that packaging and stocking. I got a first crop of cherry tomatoes from your Sungold seeds this year, which is the farthest I've ever gotten tomatoes plants before the powdery mildew killed them. If there are any varieties of tomato that are resistant to the kind of powdery mildew we get in Alameda (as apparently, there are different kinds of powdery mildew in different parts of the country), maybe next year?

Thank you to everyone who volunteered!
