San Bernardino Regional Seed Library - SBRSL

San Bernardino Regional Seed Library - SBRSL The SBRSL is a depository of seeds held in trust for gardeners. Gardeners come to the library and borrow seed for their garden.

Gardeners grow the plants in their garden and at the end of the season, they let a few plants ‘go to seed.’ From those plants, they collect seeds to return to the Library to replenish its inventory. All seeds are free to the public. Check Out Hours: Sat., 1 to 3pm -- No membership required! Check In Hours: Mon.- Sat., 8 to 5pm

What kinds of seeds are we looking for?
- Edible plant seeds
- See

ds from plants that attract pollinators
- Native seeds (not “wild” caught, but from someone’s yard)
- Anything that seems interesting, but no marijuana! Seeds can be brought in any reasonably sized containers, as long as they are sealed to prevent escape! They will be repackaged in envelopes. Thank you for supporting this new community resource!

OPENING DAY!

Join us today for the exhibit opening of "Seeds: Nature's Artful Engineering" at the San Bernardino County Museum!

"Seeds: Nature’s Artful Engineering" is an exhibit vividly portraying the incredible diversity, ingenuity and beauty of seed dispersal mechanism of plants native to California. Seeds and their dispersal mechanisms are one of the final stages in the evolutionary biology of flowering plants. Against many odds, they are the final step in ensuring the survival of plant life. The exhibit is based on 30 + high-resolution, close-up photographs of the seed structures and dispersal mechanisms of California native plants taken in the wild and in garden settings by Northern California plantspeople and naturalists John Whittlesey and Jennifer Jewell.
