Bridport Seed Library

Seed packets from Vital Seeds spread out on a table, including Drumstick Scabious, Marshmallow, Hare's Ear, Onion Senshy, Mangetout Sweet Horizon, Blue Vervain, Chilli Hungarian Hot Wax Mix, Chilli Pepperoncini, Lettuce Devil's Tongue, and Chard Magenta.

Following our packed screening of Seed: The Untold Story loads of people stayed after the film to discuss setting up a Bridport Seed Library.

Steve, a member of West Dorset Commons and co-ordinator of the Bridport Community Allotment (next to Bridport Community Orchard), shared ideas for our new Seed Library initiative and talked about how the Seed Library could work.

A bunch of people signed-up to help make it happen and we now have nearly a hundred different seed varieties, ready for our grand opening at Bridport Library on Saturday 7 February 2026 during Bridport Seed Week.

Whether you’re a gardener, seed saver, food-growing enthusiast or simply curious, email Steve at bridportseedlibrary@gmail.com for more info and to get involved with this project to strengthen local biodiversity and community resilience.
