The public is invited to celebrate the official launch of Camden Seed Library on Saturday, June 7, from 3 - 4:30 p.m., in the Picker Room at Camden Public Library, with a special launch party and community seed swap.

Witness the unveiling of the brand-new Seed Library, hear from and chat with seed-growing and seed-saving experts, participate in a community seed swap, learn how to make your own DIY seed packets out of scrap paper, and more.

You are welcome to bring your own seeds to the seed swap, but it is not required. CPL has free seeds to share with everyone. Camden Seed Library currently has herbs, vegetables, and flowers of many kinds from Arugula to Zinnia and many varieties in between.

The mission of the Camden Seed Library, located at Camden Public Library, is to be a central point for sharing seeds and gardening resources to support efforts at biodiversity and self-sufficiency in the local community.

The Camden Seed Library is made possible by the generous donations of seeds from Plants Unlimited in Rockport.
