The Courtenay Seed Library is a project of the Vancouver Island Regional Library Courtenay branch in partnership with Lush Valley and Comox Valley Growers & Seed Savers.
Our intentions are to promote food security in our local community through the exchange of locally grown and donated seeds. We believe in making growing as accessible as possible and want to encourage our community to grow and save seeds.
New Stock Coming: Wednesday Jan 19, 2022
