Looking for local, organic, or heirloom seeds?
Seed Library
How it works:
The LFI Seed Library is hosted by the Okanagan Regional Library at 605 Campbell Avenue. It is FREE to use by LFI members, or by donation by non-members. Envelopes are available on-site for you to use. Simply take what you need, and enjoy the growing process!
We want your seeds!!
Local seeds grown with love is the only requirement! Donate your packets of herbs, flowers, legumes, fruit and vegetable seeds to the library at any time by bringing them down to the library…keep it local!
Seed Saving
Seed Saving can be a fun hobby, a revolutionary act, or a career. It may be tempting to order all of your seeds from a shiny catalogue, but how will they grow here in Revelstoke? By saving locally grown seeds you are selecting for seeds that grow and thrive in this location with its seasons, soil, sunlight, wind and water conditions. They are also free of laboratory manipulation and toxic coatings and treatments. Keep it wild! Keep it free! Your home grown seeds are a welcome addition to our Seed Library.
Check out all the seed saving techniques that our friends over at Stellar Seeds in Kaslo, BC have filmed. These videos will show you the basics of seed saving popular vegetable varieties including kale, carrots, and beets.
