The Seed Bank is housed in the UCSB AS Food Bank pantry— providing free materials to students interested in growing their own food and plants. Students can pick up 3 seed packets, 1 big pot or 3 small pots, and 1 bag of soil per visit.
We prioritize seeds from local growers, indigenous owned businesses, and culturally relevant plants. The Seed Bank offer a wide variety of seeds—including herbs, veggies, fruits, pollinator flowers, and more.
We are proud to share that our potting soil is sourced from the Isla Vista Compost Collective, made from food scraps in our very own community!
