ABOUT THE PLOT
MISSION
The Plot is a learning laboratory for Library patrons to sow, grow, and share using sustainable gardening practices. Each gardener is the author of their own plot, fostering life in a dense urban area.
RULES OF OPERATION
During the growing season, The Plot is a community garden open to all patrons of the library from sunrise to sunset. The garden is tended by member-patrons that applied via lottery to have a free plot. The window to apply for a plot in 2027 will be open from February 1–22. Everyone is allowed to enjoy the garden space respectfully and watch it grow.
SEEd LIBRARY
Visit any of the branch locations during open hours and you can participate in the seed-lending program for free, year-round! Find locally and commercially grown seeds packed in envelopes and organized alphabetically for your garden. You can view the online seed inventory here.
SEED STEWARDS
Seed Stewards are committed to growing out special, rare, heirloom, open pollinated seeds for the Seed Library. The Library will house and distribute this collection of locally-adapted, open-pollinated, viable seeds and an archive of their stories. If you would like to grow these seeds, sign up here. Please make your best attempt at growing them with the proper procedures to save their seeds. When you have a seed crop, you can return a portion of them to the Seed Library with all the requested information. You will be contacted periodically to see how the plants are growing. This will also provide a community of support for seed selection and saving. The library is here to support your seed-saving process!
MAP / LOCATION
The Plot is located on the north side of the Main Library. There are two entrances to the garden: one on the northwest corner, the other on the southeast side.
The Garden is open daily during normal Library hours.
