Grow Something New with the Seed Library
Discover the Seed Library, a free resource for all gardening enthusiasts. Borrow seeds, plant them at home, and enjoy growing your own produce or flowers. You can also save seeds from your crops to return, helping to expand the community seed bank for others. Check out our Seed Libraries at the Frankston and Carrum Downs branches where you'll find a variety of seeds donated by your community.

Need a garden fork, hedge trimmer, or even a pressure washer? Don’t buy it! Borrow it from our Library of Things! This fantastic service gives you access to a range of useful tools and equipment for the home and garden. It’s perfect for one-off jobs or seasonal projects, saving you money and reducing waste.
