Seed Library
Welcome to the SSPL Seed Library!
Open to all, from Master Gardeners to the curious, our seed library provides free seeds, programming, and supporting resources.
For the 2026 season, we are excited to have partnered with Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) of Saratoga County! CCE will be providing seeds for the duration of our 2026 season through generous donations from local businesses.
Enjoying your experience? Share your progress, or happy expressions, with us and others on any of our social media platforms, such as Facebook, or Instagram.
Getting Your Seeds
Step 1: Get Seeds
Head to the Library. Come into the library and choose seeds from the current selection, while supplies last. We ask that you limit yourself to 5 seed packets per visit.
The seed library is currently located on the first floor, near the Henry street entrance.
Our seed collection is mainly made up of donations from Cornell Cooperative Extension of Saratoga County.
The collection also includes seeds harvested and donated by the community. While we cannot guarantee the content of these donations, we encourage you to take a chance and see what blooms!
Step 2: Grow
Get ready to get dirty and go through the trials and tribulations of nurturing a plant!
Step 3: Return
Collect seeds from your healthiest crops and set some aside for yourself and bring some back to the library for next year’s seed library.
Seed-saving envelopes are available at the Seed Library display.
