#seedsharing

The plant people community here in st pete is amazing! Community composting, community gardens, food gardens, seed libraries, plant spirit medicine and even an herbalist school! I can’t help but feel that I landed exactly where I’m supposed to be. #plantdad #seedlibrary #seedsharing #plantpeopleofstpete #plantpeople #plantmedicine (at Saint Petersburg, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CciwaOoLbOu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Navdanya International Onlus - "Seeding Freedom" - The Navdanya Family has been Seeding Freedom for 30 years by saving, multiplying and sharing seed - the embodiment of Life: Lush Charity Pot's support for Navdanya International benefits and empowers small scale farmers who are losing their seed freedom, scientists who are losing their freedom of research, the cultural heritage of nations and communities, individuals and society at large because of the loss of biodiversity, loss of food freedom and loss of seed freedom as well as the growing number of youth who increasingly are turning, or returning, to the countryside to create ecological and organic communities. Thanks to the support for the People's Assembly and Campaigns, people’s enhanced knowledge through social media, information exchange, capacity building workshops and creation of networks empowers them to act and make the changes that lead to a life they would like to share with future generations.

We're planting seeds of the future. Sharing the first taste of the fruit of our labor with the kids in my community. Now everyone will have there own seeds to grow. I can't imagine what this area will look like in 5 years now that everyone sees how quickly trees can produce. #growninhaiti #haiti #guava #fruit #reforestation #seedharvest #seedsharing #plantsomething #abundance #preservation #ayiti #nogmos #nopesticides #noherbicides #organic #sharingiscaring

Support Nadia’s efforts to help those who need help. She’s looking for fast-growing seeds to replace what was lost in the hurricanes. See her feed @urbanfarmsista or @agricademy for more info! #hurricanevictims #seedsharing

My friends Mason and Wiley from Bear Bottom Farm in Dillwyn, Virginia grew White Velvet Okra from seeds we shared with them. They sent back this fresh seed with a note from Mason: "They did great and tasted wonderful. I got a 3rd place ribbon for them at the Abermarle County Fair behind two entries of Clemson Spineless, the most generic okra. Wiley cleaned up in the oddball veggies category". Here's a post from last year: White Velvet Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) has been an important part of Southern foodways (particularly in Alabama, but also parts of Mississippi and Louisiana) for over 100 years (according to @slowfoodusa - see their terrific history of this variety). It was made commercially available in 1890 and was widely popular due to its tender fruit lacking spines, and beautiful contrast to the colors of tomato based soups, or sometimes in fresh salads, pickles, gumbos, or by itself. Like many important regional food plant varieties, the scaling up of globalized agriculture brought a flooding of the market of cheaper, more standard and generic green okra varieties being grown farther away, and so this velvety white okra is somewhat rare these days. #whitevelvetokra #abelmoschusesculentus #southernfoodways #alabamafood #okra #whiteokra #bearbottomfarm #seedsharing #seedkeeping #seedsaving (at South West Philadelphia)
