ABQ-BERNCO Seed Library

seed library logo

The ABQ-BERNCO Seed Library was established in 2014 and has the mission to encourage a community of water-wise gardeners and seed savers. In line with the Public Library mission, we aim to provide the access, tools, and skills to enable all Albuquerque citizens to participate in this community. We provide free seed to card holders and offer free programs to foster all levels of gardeners through growing, harvesting, and seed saving—all within our unique high desert environment. 

The ABQ-BERNCO Seed Library is housed at the South Broadway Branch. If you have questions contact us at
