Our Mission
The Macdonald Campus Seed Library is an initiative of the Macdonald Campus Library, offering seeds and gardening resources to members of the 91社区 community. Our goal is to promote local, small-scale food production and to preserve and propagate heirloom seeds, especially local varieties adapted to our environment.
