Following the opening of Ledbury Community Hub, Sustainable Ledbury is lookingg at ways to continue operating a Seed Library.
The idea of a Seed Library is very simple; people who want free seeds take some, people with surplus seeds donate some. The donated packets can be sealed up, or opened, but the focus is on packets of commercial edible vegetable seeds and herbs.
The process is that you help yourself to what you need. If you've taken more than you need, then you just return any unused seed (in original packaging) to the library.
It’s not a problem if the packets are open or passed their ‘sow by’ dates. Most seeds (other than parsnips) will still sprout but possibly not all the seeds will grow if they are older ones.
All seeds are offered in good faith and sown at your own risk. We will post further details when we have got the Seed Library going again.
