Kwantlen Seed Library

A shareable collection of locally grown, open-source seeds available to all members of the Kwantlen community.

Welcome to the Kwantlen Seed Library

Welcome 

The Kwantlen Seed Library is a project of Kwantlen Polytechnic University's Langley campus library. Our mission is to promote food security in our community through the preservation and exchange of locally grown and harvested seeds. We believe in keeping heirloom and open-pollinated varieties alive, in an effort to promote a more sustainable and biologically diverse food system. We also believe that in retaining the right to grow our own food, save seeds, and share our knowledge with one another, we can help to make a positive change towards a sustainable future.

Please visit the Kwantlen Seed Library, borrow some seeds, and remember to return a donation of seeds after harvest.
