Altadena Seed Library is a growing network of seed exchange boxes and educational and conservation resources. Through the distribution of free seeds, we are working to expand equitable access to shade and green spaces, increase food sovereignty, connect neighbors, and restore local ecosystems. Following the Eaton Fire, we are providing free seeds and seed education to affected residents, remediating toxic soils, and working to establish conservation seed banks throughout the region.

While Altadena Seed Library also facilitates long-term seed conservation through decentralized seed banking, our little free seed libraries are intended to act as dynamic, living resources that can function autonomously if they are tended to by their communities. In order to build capacity for stewardship, Altadena Seed Library provides various educational resources, including videos, zines, and workshops.
