Sowing Seeds and Connections - Annual Art and Seed Swap

Sharing seeds is an age-old practice and an act of building resilience. Preserving the diversity of crops we still have is important to our future, especially in the face of climate change. 

The vision for this project is for garden and nature-loving artists to share seeds and become stewards of biodiversity. While also showcasing and sharing their creative talents through unique seed packet designs.

“Seeds are the foundation of agriculture but they also encode a memory of the land, the climate, the weather, as well as people’s cultural values, aesthetics and stories. And now people of all generations are coming together to recognize the importance of seed heritage, to create new ways to counteract the globalization and industrialization of our food systems, to resist monocultures.” - Rowen M White
