AADL Seed Sampler partners with local seed organizations to provide our patrons and residents of Washtenaw County with starter packs of seed to promote gardening knowledge and experience. This program is designed to provide beginner gardeners with supplies and information. Quantities are designed to introduce gardeners to new varieties in small batches.
For the 2023 season, AADL has again partnered with Green Things Farm Collective (formerly Ann Arbor Seed Company).
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Ready to order some seeds? Excellent! The first thing to do is take a look at our Seed Catalog to get an idea of what you want. Each packet of seeds will come with 5-20 individual seeds. Once you have an idea of what you want, you can check out our Seed Shop, where you will be able to select up to 10 packs of seeds. You can choose to pick up your seeds from the Hold Shelf at the AADL library location of your choice. Is transportation a difficulty? We can mail to residents of Washtenaw County! Once your order is placed, AADL will get your order together as quickly as possible in the following weeks. We'll let you know when the seeds are ready to be picked up! After that, it's all about having fun in your garden!
Please note: Packs are divided by volunteers, quantities may vary. Interested in volunteering? Email volunteer@aadl.org!
