Today's #seeds that I'm working on sorting/packing for #VictoriaSeedLibrary were donated by #McKenzieSeeds - a longtime #Canada seeds supplier. These are the assorted bean seeds from them. They donated millions of seeds for our local seed library 💗

#Research #participation opportunity:

Finally, we are partnering with a student #researcher from the Department of #Sociology at the University of Victoria who is conducting a #study on deep engagement within #SeedLibraries. They are seeking participants for approximately one-hour interviews (in person or online — to be conducted in the next couple weeks) who have interacted with the previous iteration of the #VictoriaSeedLibrary. If you’re interested in learning more or participating, please contact Hannah Lister at [email protected]

Accepting #SeedDonations !

As summer comes to a close, it’s a great time to look through your seed collection and set aside any extras you’d like to share. Your seed donations help grow our #VictoriaSeedLibrary and support local gardeners in cultivating diverse, climate-adapted plants.

Donations can be dropped off at the Lifecycles office (808 Viewfield Rd, Unit A) during office hours.

All through Summer we are prepping for revival of our free community #SeedsLibrary - will update as things come together. I'm back at HQ on Monday afternoon.
Plan on a soft launch this Fall & a hard launch next Spring. We have millions of locally donated seeds to still sort, package & organize.
