How to Request Seeds

Please note: The Fort Bragg Seed Library is a depository of seeds held in trust for the members of the Mendocino County Library and Mendocino County residents. They have been carefully selected for their ability to adapt to the local climate and soils of coastal Mendocino. Mendocino County Seed Library seeds are not included in the Tri-Counties library network and will not be transported or mailed outside of the home library. 

The Seed Library is currently being updated to add the new and delete the old. We ask for your patience with this process as it could take a few weeks. Thank you.

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 via email to let you know when your seeds are available for pickup. (note: Seed requests may take a few days to process)

Individuals are allowed 20 packets per growing season—Fall/Winter (Sep-Feb) & Spring/Summer (Mar-Aug)—for a total of 40 per year.
