About the Seed Library

The East Side Seed Library is located inside the Dayton's Bluff branch of the Saint Paul Public Library and is operated in partnership with the Metro State University Library and Learning Center as well as Urban Roots.

A huge thank you to the West Side Seed Library and the folks at Growing West Side for inspiring and supporting the creation of the East Side Seed Library.
