The UNLV Community Garden 

Seed Library

About the Seed Library:

Hello and welcome! The seed library was established this year with a very gracious donation of over 200 seeds from the company, Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds. Modeled from many other seed library programs, it is a super awesome resource that

we are really proud to bring to the community garden this year. We hope that the establishment of a seed library at the UNLV Community Garden this year would help improve the availability and variety of sustainable food and teach students, faculty, and staff how to properly save them.

​

The Purpose of a Seed Library:

• Empowering community members to grow their own food by offering free seeds.

• Support food security and improve access to the freshest, healthiest food possible.

• Provide a culturally diverse selection of seeds so the multitude of cultures represented in our community can grow foods that reflect their palate and preferences.

• Connect people to community resources for planting, growing, harvesting, and seed saving.

• Learn how to save seeds for the next growing season, share with friends and family, and return seeds to the Seed Library.
