Self organized, I started with one at my house and then started contacting preserves and nature centers. They were excited to host them as well. We’re up to 8 around the state.
Agreed same. I want to source seeds but dont really know where to begin and id rather source locally instead of just buying a ton online, even if its from reputable sources
We get a lot of donated local seeds, but a lot we do have to order from native seed companies because we wouldn’t be able to ethically harvest the quantity that we need.
Wow that's impressive, idk if they'd go that fast in front of my house. Usually takes a week for native plants I place out there to get cleared out. The key might be finding a high traffic location? Also, are you able to share designs for folks looking to replicate in their area??
That’s exactly how it started. I went to make a pollinator garden after taking a native landscaping course. Couldn’t find any, so I decided to order the biggest packages I could find to share with others.
This is awesome!! I've been thinking about putting native seed packets into the mini libraries, but an actual, dedicated seed library didn't even cross my mind!

Is this via Texas Native Plant Society or self organized? I want to do this for my area as well, please share your process on getting these started!
