Over the past year, the #LifeCycles team has been taking a deep dive into reimagining what the #SeedLibrary can be. With the help of many dedicated volunteers, we’ve spent significant time sorting and organizing seeds, and we’re excited to share what’s coming next.

By the end of February, #seed #donation bins will be launched at each of #GreaterVictoriaPublicLibrary branches. The Seed Library at the Broughton branch in downtown Victoria, which will both collect and distribute seeds, is expected to be fully functional by March.

We are also shifting how #seeds are accessed at the #library to make them more #accessible and increase their reach. The Seed Library will function more like a Seed Box - prioritizing ease of access, because we believe that access to seeds—especially amid rising food costs—is an important part of local #foodsecurity.

Alongside this, we are planning to continue the Seed Library’s core work of growing out heirloom and locally adapted varieties so they remain accessible in our region. As these seeds become available, we will put these seeds into rotation in the Broughton Branch Seed Library.

We’re also planning two #SeedWorkshops this year — a beginner workshop in the spring and a more advanced workshop in the summer. More details coming soon!

#Volunteer opportunities - come help us!

We have two remaining seed-sorting shifts and we would love your help:

Monday, January 19, 10:00 am–12:00 pm

Monday, January 26, 1:00–3:00 pm

Shifts take place at our Esquimalt office (808 Viewfield Rd, Unit A). Snacks are provided! You can sign up through the Gleaning Hub under Join → Shifts

From a tiny egg on a milkweed leaf to a butterfly that can travel over a thousand miles, the monarch’s life is full of transformation and obstacles.

Most never make it to adulthood—but those that survive help produce the next generation. 🦋🌿

These are the 2 #RaisedBeds at #WellandCommunityOrchard. We're growing food in them to expand on more community food security at the orchard. Currently, we're growing beans, dill, peas, basil, lettuces, tomatoes & cucamelons.

The raised beds are high enough that disabled people, like me, can easily work at them.

The bottom panel shows the full length of the beds, also containing lettuce and peas climbing a fence. Garden tools are visible on the grass.

A collage depicts a block printing workshop in a sunny outdoor setting. Participants proudly display their completed white tote bags, featuring unique designs such as whimsical characters, delicate leaves, and natural elements. Close-up shots showcase the process, including linoleum blocks with carved designs and hands using tools to create the blocks. The workshop fosters creativity and community in a natural environment.

#WellandCommunityOrchard #workparty.
We added more enriched soil to vegetable garden beds, pruned tomato plants, sowed more food/herbs plant seeds, added 2 new fig trees, weeded out lots of bindweed & harvested sour cherries. Some new #volunteers came out to help this weekend 😀🙌👩‍🌾👨‍🌾❤️

A collage showing volunteers working in a vibrant community orchard & gardens on a sunny day. One image shows a person on a ladder picking cherries from a tree laden with ripe fruit. Other volunteers are pulling weeds and tending to young trees, while another is digging with a shovel. Overall, the scenes convey a sense of collaboration and healthy food production.

I'm putting some into my little free library on Kamloops Ave(only LFL on the street). I helped with the Welland Community Orchard map/brochure.

More helping hands are always welcome! Come & help us out with local food security efforts, if you live in Victoria/Saanich/Esquimalt & surrounding areas! There's several different projects to choose from:

All through Summer we are prepping for revival of our free community #SeedsLibrary - will update as things come together. I'm back at HQ on Monday afternoon.
Plan on a soft launch this Fall & a hard launch next Spring. We have millions of locally donated seeds to still sort, package & organize.

A close-up, slightly high-angle shot of a wooden seed library organizer with multiple compartments containing seed packets. Each compartment is labeled with plant types like "Lettuce," "Herbs," and others. The seed packets are light brown and feature the "Victoria Seed Library" logo (a stylized tomato with the words). Some packets have handwritten details about the seeds' origin, variety, and harvest year. A blue measuring spoon lies on the top edge of the organizer. Some compartments also contain small, white envelopes.

Medium shot of three people standing behind a round, light-colored wooden table. The background is a white wall with a whiteboard containing handwritten text. The table is covered with a wooden organizer box containing seed packets, several unmarked yellow envelopes, a plastic container with pens and scissors, and a tape dispenser. The person on the left wears a patterned headscarf and holds a wooden box with a seed library graphic. The person in the center is wearing a vertically striped shirt and a baseball cap with a logo, holding up a yellow card. The woman on the right (me) has rainbow-colored hair and wears a white mask, giving a peace sign with her left hand and holding up seed packets in the right hand. The overall tone is bright and cheerful.

Our #SeedsSorting station at #LifeCycles HQ in #Esquimalt 🙂

#YYJ #FoodSecurity #Seeds

A brightly lit meeting room features a round wooden table surrounded by chairs. On the table are a wooden box labeled "Victoria Seed Library," a stack of "Welland Community Orchard" flyers, and a turquoise mug that says "But first, Coffee". In the background, a whiteboard covered with handwritten notes and drawings stands against a white brick wall. A corkboard divided into months with notes is on a yellow wall next to a window. The room appears to be in an office or community space.

Before I log off here for a few hours, I want to share this #GoodNews story. It's about the #LifeCycles #community #SeedsLibrary that I'm involved with & been posting about recently.

"Public can soon check out free seeds at downtown Victoria library.
LifeCycles revamps its seed library now, just in time for planting 2026.

The executive director for the Victoria #nonprofit LifeCycles Project is spearheading a refresh on its seed library with a goal to create open access where people can pick up all the resources they need from the library – including seeds.

Saving, sharing and sowing seeds has been a LifeCycles goal since the 1990s with a variety of projects.:

Hulke & Criscione find that high selfing rates for a trematode can be explained solely by demography. Using demographic estimates of selfing showed no evidence for inbreeding depression. They test a theory for why parasites maintain complex life cycles. Read now ahead of print!

"The subculture lifecycle is a problem only from a geek perspective. As far as mops [members of the public] are concerned, it provides reliable, low-cost waves of novelty entertainment and casual social relationships. As far as sociopaths are concerned, it generates easily-exploited pools of prestige, sex, power, and money."

All the farm fresh harvest foods that we gave away to folks who attended the annual #LifeCycles #CommunitySharing day are from local farmers who donated excess harvests & from gleaning volunteers. We gifted hundreds of dollars worth of fruits & vegetables at the event today. Excess fruits & vegetables are going to rest of our volunteers & to Mustard Seed Community Food Distribution centre - located beside LifeCycles HQ, in industrial Esquimalt area.
