Chatham-Kent Public Library is launching CKPL Grows Seed Libraries at all 11 branches on Thursday, March 20, 2025. All branches will offer a variety of vegetable, herb and flower seeds for residents to grow. Since starting the CKPL Grows Seed Library 9 years ago, more than 50,000 seed packages have been checked out by residents. Now that growing season is here, don’t miss out!
What is CKPL Grows Seed Library you ask? CKPL’s Seed Library provides free seeds for residents to borrow so they can grow healthy gardens, have access to affordable food, and create beautiful spaces in their own backyards and communities. What do you need to check out seeds? All you need is a valid CKPL library card!
Chatham-Kent Public Library is also looking for donations of any seed varieties for the Seed Library. Residents are also encouraged to save seeds from their gardens this year and donate them to CKPL to be used again next season. CKPL Grows Seed Library have been supported thus far in part by generous local growers donating their seeds.
