#SeedsLibrary

2025-06-13

All through Summer we are prepping for revival of our free community #SeedsLibrary - will update as things come together. I'm back at HQ on Monday afternoon.
Plan on a soft launch this Fall & a hard launch next Spring. We have millions of locally donated seeds to still sort, package & organize.

A close-up, slightly high-angle shot of a wooden seed library organizer with multiple compartments containing seed packets. Each compartment is labeled with plant types like "Lettuce," "Herbs," and others. The seed packets are light brown and feature the "Victoria Seed Library" logo (a stylized tomato with the words). Some packets have handwritten details about the seeds' origin, variety, and harvest year. A blue measuring spoon lies on the top edge of the organizer. Some compartments also contain small, white envelopes.

Medium shot of three people standing behind a round, light-colored wooden table. The background is a white wall with a whiteboard containing handwritten text. The table is covered with a wooden organizer box containing seed packets, several unmarked yellow envelopes, a plastic container with pens and scissors, and a tape dispenser. The person on the left wears a patterned headscarf and holds a wooden box with a seed library graphic. The person in the center is wearing a vertically striped shirt and a baseball cap with a logo, holding up a yellow card. The woman on the right (me) has rainbow-colored hair and wears a white mask, giving a peace sign with her left hand and holding up seed packets in the right hand. The overall tone is bright and cheerful.

Before I log off here for a few hours, I want to share this #GoodNews story. It's about the #LifeCycles #community #SeedsLibrary that I'm involved with & been posting about recently.

"Public can soon check out free seeds at downtown Victoria library.
LifeCycles revamps its seed library now, just in time for planting 2026.

The executive director for the Victoria #nonprofit LifeCycles Project is spearheading a refresh on its seed library with a goal to create open access where people can pick up all the resources they need from the library – including seeds.

Saving, sharing and sowing seeds has been a LifeCycles goal since the 1990s with a variety of projects.:
