CADL Seed Library

Saving and sharing seeds helps feed communities and preserves cultural heritage. We join with libraries across the state each year to promote growing and sharing seeds. 

Seed sharing (or 'seed libraries') are community projects which aim to provide free seeds and assist in sharing seeds saved by local gardeners.

One Seed, One State

The Michigan Seed Library Network is excited to announce the 2024 seed for One Seed, One State is 'Mammoth Long Island' dill!  Dill is part of Michigan's great pickle growing and processing heritage. Michigan is the #1 pickling cucumber producer in the USA with 35,000 acres in production.  Dill is an integral part of creating the finished product. Find out more at www.miseedlibrary.org.
