Abstract

Indoor green spaces are increasing in popularity in many sectors, including libraries. While the benefits for mental health and well-being are well documented, indoor gardens are often cost-prohibitive to establish and maintain, due to infrastructure requirements. This article outlines how an academic health sciences library planned and implemented an indoor garden and seed library with minimal ongoing cost commitments and no permanent space requirements. The initiative has been very well received, and the level of engagement is high. Challenges faced both pre- and post-implementation will be discussed along with future directions for the initiative.
