This month’s topic: WHO OWNS OUR SEEDS?

Register HERE anytime for next class

Who owns our seeds might not be something most gardeners think about, but it has a big impact on what we grow and how freely we can grow it. For generations, people saved seeds from their favorite plants—passing them down, swapping with neighbors, and experimenting in their own backyards. But now, many seeds—especially those sold by big companies—are patented, meaning they can’t legally be saved or shared. This takes control away from everyday growers and puts it in the hands of a few corporations. By supporting seed libraries, local seed swaps, and heirloom varieties, gardeners can help keep seeds—and the joy of growing—free and in the hands of the people who love them.

In this LIVE online Q&A Session…

• He will be answering your seed questions live!
