The Menlo Park Seed Library operates as a community seed exchange in which borrowers may “check out” a wide variety of vegetable and flower seeds to plant in their gardens for home use. During the pandemic, many Menlo Park neighbors have rediscovered or started new home gardens. Seeds By Mail is a system for sending seeds to Menlo Park residents in a way that is safe, sensible, and accessible. Seeds are donated and are provided at no cost to Menlo Park residents.

A “green” resource for the community

Seeds By Mail and Menlo Park Seed Library are a public service to:

• Enhance food security
• Promote a greener community environment
• Foster strong neighborhood ties
• Educate about the natural world.
