The Murray Mallee Seed Bank is one of the Seeding Victoria Inc seedbanks.  Previously known as the Swan Hill Regional Seedbank it is a not for profit, community based organisation which was established to preserve and trade in native seed. The seed bank relies on DSE registered collectors to gather native seed which are then sold on a consignment basis to various interested parties.

The seed bank is presently located at the eastern edge of the Swan Hill stock selling complex in Karinie Street in northern Swan Hill. It is open on both Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9.00am to 5.00pm.  From Mid July the seedbank will be moving to the Nyah Golf Course site and the opening hours will remain the same.

Our focus is to educate community groups and major project contractor’s on the importance of sourcing genetically diverse, provenance based seed for the long term success of both direct seeded and planted seedling revegetation projects.
