Every Spring our Seed Library is here to help you grow herbs and vegetables as well as special Bee-way Builders. Pollinators and native plants are necessary to a healthy environment.
- Our warm weather seed library will open in February
- Patrons can "check out" up to 5 seed packets per visit
- Bonus seeds will be released weekly and announced on social media, so make sure you follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
- Join our Sustainability email list by emailing us at engage@lindenhurstlibrary.org
- This spring, you can also create a pollinator garden using special native seeds from our seed library. Help us build a “Lindy Bee Trail” by planting our special Bee-way Builder mix in your yard, then share your location so you can be added to our Bee Trail map! See the customer service desk for details.

Bee's Friend Flower
This annual bears subtle lavender-blue flowers with curved spikes that not only put on a show in your garden but also attract and support many species of bees. Often used as a cover crop, this plant’s common name is a translation of Bienen-freund, German for “bee’s friend.”
