welcome back, seedy friends!

We are so excited to kick off The Northern Seed Library's 2nd annual member grow out. 

The Seed Library is now open!

See our 2023 adoptable varieties here

Select up to 3 varieties that you would like to adopt. You may add back-up options as well in case your selections are unavailable. We will be constantly adding new varieties to the list as we receive returns and donations, so feel free to fill out the app below more than once if needed.

In 2023, current active members can look forward to member-exclusive seed swaps, free seed saving resources, and free bi-annual seed mail. As well, this year Albertan members can adopt historical seeds saved from inside Fort Edmonton Park, Alberta.

If you still need to send your 2021-2022 seeds back to the library, we can help! Please let us know at seedlibrary@shaw.ca if you have any questions about packaging up your seeds and sending back via Canada Post. Sending seeds back to us should only cost you $1 - $3 

If you had no luck saving the variety you adopted last year, no worries! It happens and we are so thankful that you dedicated the space & time to steward seeds. If you can, please let us know the status of your seed return so we can notify members who may be waiting to check out that variety next. If you feel up for trying again let us know. If you want to try something new, select your varieties below.

We are so grateful to all the members who have made seed donations to the library. The seed library would not be possible without you! If you are interested in sending in any old unwanted packages of seeds or seeds self-harvested from your own garden, please reach out to us at seedlibrary@shaw.ca if you do not have our address
