Take. Grow. Share.

We’ve officially been rooted in the community for one year! Originally known as the Marlton Seed Exchange, we have grown into BloomShare4free—a thriving local movement hosted by Evesham Library.

Our journey began in July 2025 with a single binder of seeds donated by The Garden Club of Marlton (GCM). By September, our reach expanded to include native seeds for winter sowing, made possible through a wonderful collaboration with the Native Plant Society and Chartwell Gardens. Now, as of March 2026, we are thrilled to introduce our new Herb Binder for local culinary enthusiasts! The Garden Club of Marlton warmly welcomes other local groups to join this growing tradition by sharing their own seeds with the library.

What’s Next? Share Your Harvest!

Whether you’re planting for the planet or for your plate, help us grow our second year! We are excited to see how your garden tastes—stay tuned for our upcoming "Herb to Table" collection. At the library, you'll soon find a QR code on our new Herb Binder; simply scan it with your phone to submit your favorite family recipe using herbs grown from our exchange. If you're browsing from home, you can click here to submit your recipe and join our community cookbook project. We can't wait to see what you're cooking!

A special thank you to Sonia, our Evesham Library liaison, who continues to help us expand the binders and even inspired our unique reference corner with houseplant cuttings for sharing!

This program encourages the community to add small, pollinator-friendly areas (corners, strips, or containers) to their backyards. We believe these small additions make a huge impact on essential local pollinators like birds, butterflies, and bees

Last fall, our members visited Chartwell Gardens to harvest a massive variety of seeds, which we’ve carefully packeted for you. We also partnered with the Native Plant Society, SW Chapter, at the Camden County Sustainability Campus following their seed-saving workshop. NPS-SWC donated a huge surplus of native seeds—both cleaned and ready for processing—specifically for the Evesham Library free seed binders.

These partnerships are the foundation of our Native Seed Binder and we were able to offer our FIRST WINTER SOWING workshop, January 2026, at the Evesham Library, under the Burlington County Library System. (BCLS).
