Wells Branch Seed Exchange
Welcome to the Seed Exchange:
A free community resource of seeds for local gardeners!
How It Works:
The Seed Exchange is open to everyone and no library card is required!
- Check the available inventory online.
- Visit the library to take home free seed packets, provided by Central Texas Seed Savers volunteers, to start your garden. Limit 5 seed packets per visit.
- At the end of the season, donate seeds from your best plants for others to enjoy. You are not required to donate seeds back to the Exchange, but doing so helps keep us going!
