Welcome to our 2026 Seed Library.

This marks the 12th year that we are offering free seeds to patrons thanks to the generosity of our Friends organization and a small group of dedicated volunteers. Seed libraries take many forms. Ours began out of concern over the rising prices of vegetable seeds for home gardeners and with hopes of encouraging new gardeners. We focus primarily on seeds of food crops, and endeavor to offer varieties that grow well on Cape Cod. We pack the seeds into amounts practical for home gardens so we can bring seeds to the largest number of gardeners. Please take some time to read through our offerings, or come in during open hours to browse our drawers.

As with recent years, we are experiencing lengthy order times for certain varieties & other varieties are lacking in supply. Please look on our website for info on availability of “On Order” or “Out of Stock” varieties. If there is something that you would like but which is not available, please speak with Naomi. If she isn’t here, you can email her at:

Naomi.Robbins@Wellfleet-MA.gov

with your questions/requests/ideas.

Enjoy your browsing and best wishes for a bountiful harvest!
