Borrow seed, harvest it, save it, and bring it back to us the following spring to help create climate adapted, resilient plants here in Calgary.

HOW TO USE THE SEED LIBRARY

  • You can receive a membership card from a seed librarian downstairs at The Next Page in Inglewood or fill out our form to sign up here!

  • You can borrow any seeds at any time from the Calgary Seed Library popular collection, located inside our cabinet downstairs at The Next Page in Inglewood.

    To borrow from our greater collection, contact us here to make a request. After we have received your request, we will arrange a drop off to The Next Page within one week.

  • If you are borrowing from the Calgary Seed Library, we ask that you agree to our member contract:

    • I will do my best to grow this seed this summer or next summer.

    • After this seed germinates, I will nurture the plant to the best of my ability and do my best to grow at least one plant to maturity in order to harvest the seeds.

    • If I am able to harvest seed, I will gently process and carefully store the seed.

    • I will do my best to return this seed to the Calgary Seed Library!

  • If you successfully grow seed that you have borrowed from the Calgary Seed Library, please try to return it to us before the following spring. You can do so by dropping off the seed at The Next Page in our donation box, we will have forms available for you to tell us about the seed and our librarians may reach out to you if more information is needed!
