Let's make our community gardens seed gardens. Community gardens, school gardens and even your personal garden can educate people about seed saving. Here are some signs you can print out for your garden or make some "Seed saving in progress" signs.
Stewardship in Schools
Imagine how culture would change if every school chose a few plants to steward - preferably the "super easy" things like beans, lettuce and peas. The students could share the seed and pass them from class to class year after year. Creating a culture of sharing, a new generation of seed savers and breeders with a deep appreciation for the value of good, healthy food and seed.
