Govs Seed Library

A collaboration between sustainability, agriculture, and student basic needs. 

Location

The Govs Seed Library is located in the S.O.S. Food Pantry (319 Home Ave). 

Mission Statement 

The Govs Seed Library is dedicated to preserving and sharing organic seeds. Our mission is to promote sustainability and self-sufficiency in our campus community by:  

• Providing free access to organic seeds, gardening resources, and educational workshops 

• Cultivating an enhanced experience for students, faculty, and staff by fighting food insecurity and encouraging healthy eating 
• Building local partnerships with community non-profits to foster a collaborative culture

How It Works

1. Stop by the S.O.S. Food Pantry, pick out your seed packets, and fill out the checkout form. Each packet contains enough seeds to grow 2-3 plants.  
2. Plant and grow your seeds in a personal or community garden.  
3. At the end of your harvest, consider saving your seeds and donating some back to the seed library.
