Rockville Makerspace
Seed Library 

Looking to start a garden? Come to our free Seed Library and take the seeds you need to get started. We have small envelopes so you can take only the seeds you would like to plant. Please let us know if you take the last of anything, so we can keep this list updated.

 

Have extra seeds you don't need? We welcome your donation of clean seeds in a labelled envelope.

 

The Seed Library is available at the Rockville Makerspace and Tool Library during Open Hours, 12-4 PM on Saturdays and 6-8 PM on Tuesdays. Contact Makerspace staff if you have any questions.
