Curbside Seed Library ~ Fall and Winter
Curbside Seed Library ~ Fall and Winter
No one expected the lock down to last as long as it has so when Fort Bragg Seed Library enforced parameters of 20 packets of seed per individual, we only planned it to last through spring. Now we’re approaching the 6 month mark and it’s time to start planning our fall and winter gardens and Fort Bragg Seed Library is resetting the parameters. Those who collected 20 packets between March and August are now free to request 20 more for September through February.
We have quite a selection of seeds for fall and winter: root vegetables, lettuces, spinach and other greens.
To request seeds:
First, see what seeds are available at the Fort Bragg Seed Library using the green button below.

When you have made your selections, click on the orange button and fill out the Seed Request Form. Once your request has been filled by library staff, you will be contacted to set up a time for Curbside Pickup. (note: Seed requests are filled off-site and may take a few days to process)
