You can borrow one of roughly 100 varieties of seeds for free,
and take home about 1 gram.
Then you sprout them and return the seeds.

If you successfully return the seeds, you can borrow more varieties and larger amounts at a time.
They also kindly explain how to grow each kind of seed you borrow and give you guidelines.

Apparently, sprouting the seeds you borrowed and returning them feels like a game quest or farming challenge, so it's pretty addictive.
The seed library guidebook even lists difficulty levels, so you can challenge yourself with a high-difficulty plant.
Even if you fail to sprout them, they'll lend you the same seeds again for free the next time you visit,
or apparently recommend something slightly easier.

They've been doing this for ages, and it was harder than I expected... Mine sprouted, but I still failed 😭
Even the supposedly weakest one was super-super-super max difficulty when it came to getting a seed to produce seeds T_T
I planted moss rose, balsam, zinnia, Shasta daisies, cornflowers, poppies, and cosmos from Daiso in my yard, and they were a huge success. I need to borrow some seeds.
