“A seed makes itself. A seed doesn’t need a geneticist or a hybridist or publicist or matchmaker. But it needs help. Sometimes it needs a moth or a wasp or a gust of wind. Sometimes it needs a farm and it needs a farmer. It needs a garden and a gardener. It needs you.” Janisse Ray
What will stories will your seeds share?
SeedBroadcast believes that our seeds hold a unique wisdom and our relationship with them can teach us patience, companionship, resilience and if we listen they will guide us to what matters most during these uncertain times.
Our worlds have changed in many ways since the pandemic swept through our lives. How we access our food has become even more important to consider as we line up at the grocery store with gloves and mask only to find the shelves half empty. A resurgence of finding ways to grow and harvest our own norishmentis inevitable and a nesscssary step towards creating our food sovereignty.
So as you are planting those precious seeds we invite you to listen to their story and to share this wisdom with us and others. By doing so we can build the necessary relationship to relearn how keep the seeds alive and thriving.
We will add your story to our seed story library, share it on our SeedBroadcast blog and it could be chosen to be published in the SeedBroadcast agri-Cuture Journal.
And remember at harvest time to save some of this years seeds for next season!
We invite you to share an audio seed story, a seed poem or a written seed story. Please include an image with each of these. For inspiration you can listen to Christopher Honahnie's seed story.
The following will guide you through the process but if you have any questions please reach out to us here
