Talk: Seed Saving Made Simple
What gardeners can do to help secure genetic diversity of food
Adam Alexander is a Garden Organic Seed Guardian and has been an active member of the Heritage Seed Library for many years. He believes that there is a desperate need to seek out endangered food plants, grow them oneself, share the seed and encourage other people to grow them too.
His own personal seed library collection, from his travels around the world as well as from exchanges with other growers, amounts to nearly 500 varieties and he hopes to bring along a few seeds plus some interesting and delicious plants too on the night.

The St George Park Community Garden project invites volunteers and is also currently looking for Sponsors to fund the next major new development which will entail the planting of 31 espalier apple and pear trees along the existing fencing later in the year.
Gardening sessions are planned for everyone to participate, with experienced gardeners alongside novices, so all are welcome. We have plants, seedlings and maybe cakes for sale which help fund future seed purchases and go towards the next developments. Sessions in the weeks ahead will be on 12th & 26th May and 9th & 23rd June. For regular emails about gardening dates just leave your contact details at: stgeorgecommunitygarden@outlook.com
