Seeds at the Wellfleet Public Library
Our 2026 Seed Library is winding down!
Our 12th Annual Seed Library included over 15 new varieties and over 100 old favorites! We offered more than 4700 packets of seeds. There are still about 190 packets of seed available, including lots of greens, winter squash, so come on by the library, browse our drawers and find something new to try. As we finish up our give-away, we give thanks to the Friends of the Wellfleet Library for continuing to make this program possible, and we wish all gardeners a joyous growing season and a very bountiful harvest!
Do you have any suggestions for next year’s seed offerings?
