On 14th April we were delighted to welcome to the garden Lucy and Gisela from the Heritage Seed Library at Garden Organic. We learned so much about the project and how it works, a truly fascinating session.
Our attendees heard why heritage seeds are so important, how the project works, how people can get involved and so much more. There were some wonderful stories about seeds being donated to the project by people wanting to ensure those varieties do not die out. We also had the chance to sow our own little pot of heritage Red Orach seeds, whose progress we will be tracking. One attendee has already reported that their seeds have germinated!
We are so grateful to Lucy and Gisela for their excellent knowledge and expertise, and for taking the time to come and visit the garden, and of course to our own Sharon for her excellent organisation skills. Everyone had a great time!
