Item Description

This assortment includes 25 packets of heirloom seeds (see full list below) from Seed Savers Exchange. Seed Saver Exchange’s mission is to save North America's diverse, but endangered, garden heritage for future generations by building a network of people committed to collecting, conserving and sharing heirloom seeds and plants, while educating people about the value of genetic and cultural diversity.  Seed Savers Exchange knows that the future of our planet depends on a genetically diverse food supply.  They have promoted the preservation and utilization of heirloom varieties for 36 years. Working with our members – farmers and gardeners – to ensure that these unique varieties are not lost forever, Each year thousands of seed varieties are exchanged among backyard preservationists through the Seed Savers Exchange Yearbook for diverse reasons such as connecting to our garden heritage, finding varieties suited to a particular region, enjoying the diversity of heirloom varieties, and sourcing material to use in localized breeding projects. These preservation methods keep many open-pollinated and heirloom varieties circulating in the hands of gardeners and farmers, making them available to everyone.  The strategies and tactics being employed by the agricultural biotechnology industry are diametrically opposed to our efforts to protect and share our garden heritage, and to increase the genetic diversity available to gardeners and farmers growing healthy food for their families. Seed Savers Exchange was one of the original signers of the Safe Seed Pledge in 1999.  Package also includes a 2012 Seed Savers calendar and catalog.
