Langara Seed Swap

The Langara Seed Swap is a sustainability initiative developed by the Library Climate Action Group. It launched in the Spring 2025 semester and is located in the Reserves area of the library, behind the Check Out Desk. 


Seed Swap LogoWe encourage Langara Community members to take and grow both vegetable and flowering plants to:

  • Promote food security;
  • Encourage biodiversity and the planting of native plant species;
  • Create more green space;
  • Help sustain pollinating insects, such as bees and butterflies; 
  • Create a community of shared knowledge with one another around gardening, seed saving and planting;
  • To make positive change towards a more sustainable future in our local area and beyond. 

Please visit the Langara Seed Swap to take some seeds or to return a donation of seeds after harvesting your plants.

The winner of the Seed Swap Logo Design Contest is Vanessa Sapanta, a nursing student at Langara:

"I am in Langara’s Nursing program going into my 5th semester next term (Spring 2025). I live and grew up in North Van surrounded the forests and mountains where I developed a deep appreciation for nature. When I heard about Langara’s Seed Swap, I thought it was a wonderful way to connect with others and to empower students to be more connected with nature."
