Introduction

Introduction

The Connected Seeds Library is a community seed library at Spitalfields City Farm, Buxton Street, London E1 5AR. It is open every Tuesday from 2-3pm.

Explore the website to find out about the seeds that are held in the library, as well as stories from the Seed Guardians who grew and donated them. The Connected Seeds Library was produced as part of a research project called Connected Seeds and Sensors, exploring how co-designing digital technologies with urban agricultural communities can support more sustainable food practices in the city.
