The Seed Library of Laramie County is a joint project of the Laramie County Master Gardeners and Laramie County Library System. It is housed at the library in an effort to introduce gardening to beginners and newcomers to Wyoming.
We have easy-to-grow seeds that will do well in our climate, so you’ll have success in your garden!
About the Seed Library:
Seeds are now available at the libraries in Burns, Cheyenne, and Pine Bluffs! Some seeds are out of stock, so please check the catalog for your branch library carefully.
