AAPLD’s popular Seed Library returns on Saturday, March 1, 2025!
For our new season, we’ll offer the wide variety of flowers, vegetables, herbs and fruit you’ve come to love, plus some new surprises! An updated catalog will be posted in the coming months, for a preview of what’s to come.
One thing we’re changing: no more order forms! Just come in, select up to 20 seed packets (1 packet per variety), and go! You’ll see first hand what’s available, and won’t have to wonder if your seed order went through.
The Seed Library, offered in cooperation with the University of Illinois Agricultural Extension, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Illinois Master Gardeners of McHenry County, provides free seeds to local gardeners. You don’t need a library card to access seeds, nor do you have to return leftover seeds at the end of the season. To learn more, call the Adult Services desk, 847.458.6060, reach out on chat, or email info@aapld.org
We’re looking forward to a bountiful season!
