Seed Library
Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library (3rd floor)
The Seed Library functions as a free exchange of seed packets for the Memphis community and is located on the 3rd floor of Central Library. A former card catalog now houses seeds of all kinds, including vegetables, flowers, and herbs. Take what you need, and after your harvest (if possible), donate seeds from your yield.
Urban Garden
Officer Geoffrey Redd Library
Located in front of the Officer Geoffrey Redd Library, this Urban Garden and Garden Club proves that if you can grow a garden on Poplar Ave., you can grow one anywhere!
