F. Franklin Moon Library
Moon Seed Library

Welcome to the Moon Seed Library!

The Seed Library is located in 105 Moon Library, to the left, inside the old card catalog.  The Moon Seed Library collects and provides vegetable, herb, wildflower, and native seeds which have come from seed saving companies, campus gardens, and community members.  Seeds are available for free to our campus community with the purpose of promoting resiliency through personal and community gardens, revitalizing native landscapes, and enhancing well-being.  

Event: Seed Starting Workshop

On Thursday, March 19th, 11:00 - 12:30, in 110 Moon.  Get your garden started as this fun springtime gathering.  We will share and swap seeds, share tips on starting seeds and gardens, plant seeds to take home, and learn more about the Moon Seed Library and the Plant Propagation Club's Community Garden.  

How the Moon Seed Library works:

  • Seeds are organized in drawers by edibles or natives and wildflowers, then alphabetically.
  • Please take only three (3) packets at a time so that our whole community can enjoy the seed library
  • Review the descriptions on the packets and there will be more information coming soon about each plant.
  • Plant your seeds and enjoy!

Seed Donations

You're welcome to donate seeds to the seed library, but it is not a requirement to take seeds.  Seed donations may be brought to 109-C Moon Library.

Stay tuned for more information on gardening resources, saving seeds, special events and workshops.

Seed and support for this seed library have come from Moon Library, Bee Campus USA at ESF, and the Plant Propagation Club.
