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.
We are currently accepting orders for the Spring 2024 season through June 7, 2024!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Ready to order some seeds? Excellent! You can check out our Seed Shop, where you will be able to select from our Spring 2024 bundles. Each bundle will include 5-7 varieties 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.
