Over the past year, the #LifeCycles team has been taking a deep dive into reimagining what the #SeedLibrary can be. With the help of many dedicated volunteers, we’ve spent significant time sorting and organizing seeds, and we’re excited to share what’s coming next.

By the end of February, #seed #donation bins will be launched at each of #GreaterVictoriaPublicLibrary branches. The Seed Library at the Broughton branch in downtown Victoria, which will both collect and distribute seeds, is expected to be fully functional by March.

We are also shifting how #seeds are accessed at the #library to make them more #accessible and increase their reach. The Seed Library will function more like a Seed Box - prioritizing ease of access, because we believe that access to seeds—especially amid rising food costs—is an important part of local #foodsecurity.

Alongside this, we are planning to continue the Seed Library’s core work of growing out heirloom and locally adapted varieties so they remain accessible in our region. As these seeds become available, we will put these seeds into rotation in the Broughton Branch Seed Library.

We’re also planning two #SeedWorkshops this year — a beginner workshop in the spring and a more advanced workshop in the summer. More details coming soon!

#Volunteer opportunities - come help us!

We have two remaining seed-sorting shifts and we would love your help:

Monday, January 19, 10:00 am–12:00 pm

Monday, January 26, 1:00–3:00 pm

Shifts take place at our Esquimalt office (808 Viewfield Rd, Unit A). Snacks are provided! You can sign up through the Gleaning Hub under Join → Shifts

Sooke! Last weekend’s conversation with awesome former candidate David Evans. So touched to be joined by Elder Bill Jones and many others tirelessly fighting to protect the Walbran old growth. Now that the tour has wrapped, planning a visit to @fairycreekblockade - more to come⚡️🌲#sooke #bc #tour #bcgreens #fighttheoligarchs

One of my fave isolated #beaches to have a fire & hang out, watching the #ocean 😊 I love rock hunting here too. I've found lots of interesting rocks here before.
It's a 45 minute drive from our home to get to this spot. I saw no one else there, on my last visit.
