Join the Portlaoise Seed Library Volunteer Mornings!

Interested in gardening, growing food, biodiversity or seed saving?

Come along to our volunteer mornings at Portlaoise Library to help sort, store and label seeds, learn seed-starting tips, discover nature-friendly gardening ideas and enjoy a cup of coffee with fellow growers.

Vegetable Seed Donations Needed!

Have spare vegetable seeds at home? We are looking for donations to help stock the Portlaoise Seed Library. Your donated seeds will help local people grow their own food and support biodiversity in our community.
