Charlotte Seed Library
This is a project of the Charlotte Library, to encourage and support our community’s home food producers and seed savers. It is part of a network of Seed Libraries and Seed Savers worldwide which promote the growing of heirloom varieties and keeping the seeds in the hands of the people.

Stay tuned for more information, and follow this blog so you’re sure to get the latest updates right in your inbox.
Thank you, and happy gardening!
