Tuesday, March 29 from 6:30-8:30pm at the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market Pavilion
$10 at the door
Ken Greene from Hudson Valley Seed Library will talk about the art they commission for their seed packets, the seed stories, and how the artists interpret them. Part of the talk also covers the development of the corporate seed industry and the impact of hybrids and genetic engineering on regional seed sovereignty. He will also touch on the current community seed library movement in the United States and around the world.
This talk is designed to be inspirational and educational for anyone interested in understanding seed and food more deeply – whether or not they grow.
Ken and his partners at the Seed Library have created innovative, cooperative partnerships between consumers, seed farmers, and artists to both tell the story of the seeds they steward and to support and save the diversity of Heirloom seeds, many of which are disappearing rapidly.
Please join us to learn about their efforts to put seed growing and stewarding back into the hands of farmers and small gardeners and to save the legacy of seed collection. Ken will also have artist designed seed packets and other materials for sale at this event.
