If you are borrowing from the Calgary Seed Library, we ask that you agree to our member contract:
I will do my best to grow this seed this summer or next summer.
After this seed germinates, I will nurture the plant to the best of my ability and do my best to grow at least one plant to maturity in order to harvest the seeds.
If I am able to harvest seed, I will gently process and carefully store the seed.
I will do my best to return this seed to the Calgary Seed Library!

If you successfully grow seed that you have borrowed from the Calgary Seed Library, please try to return it to us before the following spring. You can do so by dropping off the seed at The Next Page in our donation box - please follow the check-in instructions carefully to ensure proper tracking.
