And we're back!

The Harbour Grace Seed Library & Exchange program is a partnership between the War Memorial Public Library and our local community garden. You don’t have to be a community garden member to take advantage of this program - all you need is a Newfoundland & Labrador Public Library Card!

And the best part? It’s free!

Sign up at our local library, get a loan of some seeds, return what you don't use, and donate seeds from your own collection! (And maybe check out a gardening resource or recent bestseller, too?) Once the library’s seed collection is exhausted for the season, it’s gone! However, you can save seeds you grow and return them to the library for next year’s crop.

We hope this outreach project will introduce our community to gardening, food sustainability and public literacy programs in new ways.

The 2021 Harbour Grace Seed Library will be opening on Tuesday, June 1, 2021. All visiting details are below:

Seed Library hours for Summer 2021:

Tuesdays & Wednesdays: 10:45 a.m. - 11:45 a.m.

Thursdays & Saturdays: 2:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

(In the event these times don't work for everyone, we work within regular library hours to accommodate individual schedules.)

Only two users will be permitted in the library at one time. Use will be restricted to a designated area of the library.

Face masks are required to be worn before entering the library.

Hand sanitizing is required upon entering the library.

COVID-19 screening is required before entering the library

When inside, social distancing must be practiced at all times.

If you have had a chance to peruse the seed catalogue online and you know which seeds you want, you may call ahead: we will get them ready for you and you may pick them up in the library foyer.

All measures are in place so COVID-19 protocols are met.

Happy gardening!
