Donate Money

Your donations make a huge impact for purchasing supplies like envelopes. Our vision includes an education center and farm to protect these rare plants with your generous donations.

Donate Seeds

Simply bring bulk seeds (or entire seed heads) in sealed containers to any Austin Public Library branch. Mark the container with the name of the plant, the date the seeds were collected and the words “For the Seed Library”. Drop them in the book drop or at the circulation desk. 

Mail native tree seeds to TreeFolks following these instructions.
