Seed Library

for screen readers: Grafton's seed library is housed in an antique card catalog

If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.
~Marcus Tullius Cicero (d. 43BC)

Located on the library’s upper floor in our antique card catalog, the Seed Library offers a variety of herb, flower, and vegetable seeds for Grafton residents and members of our community. Choose up to five packets every time you visit—each packet has a handful of seeds ready to plant and start growing!

The Grafton Public Library is a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)-certified building. Our goal is to promote a healthy and eco-friendly environment, and the Seed Library is part of this effort. That is why we feature plants that thrive in our local area, particularly native, heirloom, and organic seeds. We also hope to promote healthy diets and fight food scarcity by offering a wide range of tasty vegetables for your garden!

For 2026, all flowers identified as “Native Plants” were confirmed through Native Plant Finder; visit that site to learn more about these wildflowers and the butterflies they attract!

For gardening resources, please visit our nonfiction collection, call number 635, for books about horticulture. You can also borrow garden tools from our Library of Things.

For Seed Library questions, or to donate seeds, please contact Sarah Leveille at leveilles@graftonlibrary.org. We are especially interested in flowers and herbs!

Update:

New flowers have arrived! We have a great variety of zinnias, climbers, and more donated by Russell’s Garden Center. These will be added to the seed library throughout the season, so keep checking in to find more!
