Work with fellow volunteers to pack seeds for our 2026 Seed Library! Measure out bulk seeds into envelopes that community members can take home and grow.

To sign up for this event, visit the listing on our Better Impact volunteer site. Walk-in volunteers are welcome, too! 

The process to sign up is easy! Complete a short application, choose your date, and then show up at the library!

A seed packing group looks a lot like an assembly line. Everyone will have a dedicated job and work for 2-3 hours on a selected seed project. Tasks include:  

  • Labeling coin-sized envelopes with identifying information about our seeds  
  • Using tools (scoops, cups, or even a fingertip) to fill packets with seed  
  • Sealing envelopes with small stickers to ensure the seeds are secure and ready for patrons 
  • Bundling seed packets with provided rubber bands  
  • Keeping an accurate count of the seed packets completed to support our system-wide inventory  

What is Seed Library? 

The Indianapolis Public Library Seed Library offers FREE seeds to patrons so they can grow plants that sustain them. We also offer workshops to help you learn the skills you need to grow a seed into a mature plant. Visit indypl.org/calendar to see our upcoming garden programs & events.
