The Seed Library

The Seed Library is a selection of seeds that you can grow in your garden (or containers). It's free to University of Arizona students, faculty, and staff, and the Tucson community. Our seed library depends on community donations. Seed availability changes throughout the year, and selections are not guaranteed. Stop by to see what’s currently available!

Where is it?

Seed packets are on a bookcase in CATalyst Studios. You are welcome to stop by during our open hours.

How does it work?

Browse the selection, then choose and take your seeds – it's that easy!

What kinds of seeds?

The variety is usually seasonal, restocked throughout the semester, easy to grow, and great for beginners. Some of the seeds include veggies (tomato, beans, carrots) and flowers.

Please note that because this service is donation based, we cannot guarantee the age or viability of the seeds available.

Want to donate seeds?

We will happily accept your donations! Please bring them to the makerspace front desk. Pima County Public Library also accepts “open-pollinated, heirloom, and or locally-saved seeds.”
