The native Colorado seeds provided promote environmental stewardship in our community by creating stable ecosystems, erosion control and biodiversity. Native plants also support habitat and forage resources for wildlife and pollinators. While we encourage our patrons to collect seeds for next year’s crop to plant or share, libraries will not accept seed returns.
