WANTED -SEED STEWARDS
Do you grow and save your own seeds?
Do you have a favourite or favourites you grow out every year?
Do you have a little extra seed you could share with the library and become a steward for that seed?
Seed stewards are very important to our mission to provide quality seeds to our community. Seed stewards grow seeds into healthy organic plants in order to harvest seeds for the library. The work of seed stewards is important because they help keep our library stocked with seed grown with great care and suitable for our local climate.
If you would like to be a seed steward for the Enderby Seed Library email: shuswapseedsavers@gmail.com
or talk to the Enderby Library staff.

We encourage people to test their seeds for germination before donating them. See our Link to Resources page for information on seed germination testing.
Please label your seeds
Please fill out the label and attach it to your seed container or package. Add any other interesting information about your seed. Perhaps it was passed down from an older friend or relative. Is it exceptionally hardy, drought resistant or flavourful?
If you would like to take seeds to grow out
Please fill out your contact information. Make a note for yourself about any special information regarding the seed you wish to grow. If you are new to seed saving, check the information about how to save seeds. Some seeds are easy to save, others are more challenging. All are rewarding!
Take your seed home, plant it and grow it out. Enjoy some of your vegetables, fruits, herbs or flowers and allow some to go to seed. When the seed is ripe, harvest and clean it. Return some to the seed library, keep some for yourself and share some with a friend.
