Free Seed Libraries
Genève
The “Grainothèque” project in Geneva allows residents to borrow seeds and attend workshops on planting and seed saving, supported by local libraries and garden associations (2).
Seed libraries are a simple yet powerful idea: they provide free access to seeds that anyone can take home and grow, often with the encouragement to return seeds at the end of the season. They embody core values such as access, education, social responsibility, and sustainability (4). These programs serve as vibrant community learning spaces, offering opportunities to gain practical knowledge in gardening, food systems, and ecological care (4). In addition to distributing seeds, many libraries organize seasonal workshops and events that help deepen community engagement with sustainable practices (4). Seed libraries also track strong user participation, with seed return rates ranging from 30–40% in many programs (3). This not only demonstrates the success of the model but reinforces the idea of shared responsibility and community resilience.
