Eastwood Seed Library
The Eastwood Seed Library is a free seed sharing program sustained through donations from the community.
The Seed Library supports seed diversity and open pollinated varieties suited to the local environment. It aligns with City of Ryde’s commitment to the circular economy, supporting sustainability, and promoting health and wellness.
Growing plants and saving seeds is a great opportunity for adults and children to learn about the life cycle of plants.
