Description

We provide seeds for vegetables, herbs, and flowers. We prioritize heirloom or open-pollinated seeds and plants that are well-suited to growing conditions in the Shenandoah Valley. We also strive to provide culturally relevant seed types, recognizing the diverse populations and gardening knowledge of our neighbors across the Valley and their plant traditions.

You can donate or pick up seeds at two self-service locations: on campus in the lobby of JMU’s Carrier Library and in downtown Harrisonburg at Massanutten Regional Library (Central Branch), in the “quarantine room” just inside the entrance.
