Multan's horticulture agency has opened a seed library at Eidgah Park Triangle and started giving tree seed away. UrduPoint carried an Associated Press of Pakistan report on October 21, 2026, from the inauguration.
Managing director Syed Waseem Hassan said the point is free seed for homes, schools, and other places people can actually tend, with an emphasis on indigenous trees. He tied the shelves to shade, cleaner air, and a wider green cover, and he aimed the lesson at younger residents. The line he used was "One seed, one tree, a greener Multan." Director Hafiz Naeem Abbas was also there, and seed packets were distributed at the ceremony.
The dispatch does not say how many species are on the shelves or how many packets left the park that afternoon. It records a public shelf and a first handing-out, not a survival count of saplings.
For the classroom
UrduPoint reported on October 21, 2026, that Multan, in Pakistan, opened a seed library at Eidgah Park Triangle. The city's horticulture agency wants people to take free seeds of local trees and plant them at home, at school, or in another suitable place. On opening day, staff also handed seeds to people who came. The agency said the goal is more shade, cleaner air, and trees that already belong in the region. Its message was one seed, one tree, a greener Multan. The report did not say how many seeds were taken home.
