Seed Library
Maitland Seed Library is a partnership between Maitland Libraries and Slow Food Hunter Valley.
Seeds can be borrowed, planted and enjoyed. The idea is to leave a portion of the crop to go to seed, harvest and dry the seeds, returning them to the Seed Library for others to borrow and to grow.
To use the Seed Library, just visit any library location, view the available selections and choose the seeds you'd like - just bring them to the desk!
Once you plant them, let the healthiest plant go to seed, and save the seeds for your personal seed library and to "return" to the Maitland Seed Library to share with your community.
Read more about the partnership between Slow Food Hunter Valley and Maitland Libraries and find out further information about how the Seed Library operates.
Slow Food Hunter Valley also produces a seasonal newsletter, The Maitland Sprout.
If you would like to receive regular updates please email [email protected]
The current range of seed varieties are available from your local library and the Earth Markets in the Levee, the First and Third Thursday of each month.
