Find it, grow it, save it — a free seed-saving database built for the Brisbane subtropics. Browse the variety catalogue below, or open it full-screen.
Most planting guides are written for temperate Australia and quietly fail in Brisbane's humid subtropics. And most seed genetics are bred elsewhere, for conditions we don't have. The Brisbane Seed Library tackles both: a searchable database of what actually grows here and when to plant it, plus tools for local growers to save seed and steer their own resilient, locally-adapted lines.
Look up any vegetable, herb or green-manure variety and get Brisbane-specific sowing windows, spacing, and seed-saving notes.
Month-by-month sowing guidance tuned to Brisbane's real seasons — the wet, the dry, and the two short windows everything depends on.
Track your saved seed lines across generations — parentage, selection traits and crossing risk — and steer toward diverse, resilient local genetics.
The library is in active development. Want to help shape it, or have Brisbane growing records and seed lines to contribute? Get in touch — community knowledge is exactly what this is built from.
Search the variety catalogue, check subtropical planting windows, and explore landrace & population records — all in your browser. Your own seed records save privately to this device.
