Emily Carr community members can now pick up free seed packets at the seed swap station in the Library. It is located in the Sustainability Resource Area which can be found on our upper level, to the left of the staircase. If you are looking for inspiration, there are also some gardening books available in the Sustainability display, as well as other books on sustainable practices and land-based knowledge.

A lovely assortment of seeds are available this year, including those whose purchases were inspired by the results to our survey earlier this year. We have veggies, pollinators, dye plants, native species, and easy to grow varieties. Empty envelopes are also available - we encourage everybody to try to save seeds from their gardens and contribute to the swapping cycle.

Listed below are some of the seeds we have this season:

If you live in-province and are unable to come to campus due to special circumstances, we may be able to send you seeds in the mail. Email us at library@ecuad.ca and we can see what we can do for you!
