North Muskegon Seed Library

Borrow

Patrons with a Muskegon Area District Library Card may “check out” seed packets from the library. We encourage you to collect and donate seeds in the fall.  Download a copy of our seed library brochure here.  Download our seed library donation form here.  Seed donations can be mailed to or dropped off at the North Muskegon Branch Library at 1522 Ruddiman Dr, N Muskegon MI 49445 or at any other MADL branch.  

This year you can request seeds from the MADL Seed Library and have them mailed to you, or you can choose to pick up your seeds at a MADL branch.  To participate, fill out the request form below. Due to the limited stock of seeds, we will be limiting seeds to five per address. We also ask that you pick five different types of seeds. 

 Choose up to 5 seeds:

Why save seeds?

Growing and saving the seeds of plants offers a stronger and more diverse set of plants that are well-suited to Michigan’s climate. This means they can survive diseases, bad weather and more.  They can also support a healthy ecosystem by feeding pollinators like bees and birds. Plus, growing your own food is fun and delicious!

If you are a beginning gardener, don’t worry about saving seeds. Select what you are interested in growing and focus on learning how to garden. The seed saving part will come later.
