Seed Library
Our seed library is here for the community. We collect a variety of seeds. that are from gardens in our area. We hope that by saving and sharing, we can protect and promote biodiversity, develop an area adapted seed stock, and ensure seeds are available everyone in the community who wishes to grow flowers, herbs and vegetables that are proven to be adapted to our growing season.
The library has partnered with the museum to enable you to take a trip through time as you explore the artifacts that we have on display. The collection is especially unique to Lumby history. Thank you to the museum for putting the display together.
