The Seed Sharing Library is available to all seed savers on the Sunshine Coast. If you wish to become a member, or have any questions, please contact Leonie leoniecroy@gmail.com This spring 2021, in lieu of the usual interactive seed cabinet, we ask members to browse the list of available seed (see below). Note the seeds you want and email Leonie with your choice/s (just the variety name will suffice). She will arrange a time for pick-up at one of our Seed Clinics to be held at the Gibsons Public Library in February.
