Seeds at the Wellfleet Public Library
In 2025 we put more than 4500 packets of seed into our seed library!
While many seeds are now in the hands of our local community members and their gardens, a few varieties remain, so come on by and browse our drawers.
Naomi.Robbins@Wellfleet-MA.gov
with your questions/requests/ideas. Enjoy your browsing and best wishes for a bountiful harvest!
This year we have some varieties packed in bags.
We encourage you to reuse the bags, or, if you are careful not to damage the bag, consider returning it when you have planted the seeds and we will use it again next year.
Check out these books on vegetable gardening available at the library.
