Have you wondered about the history behind the heirloom seeds you are growing? Or do you know part of their story?
The final National Seed Savers Zoom for 2026 will be happening on Sunday 1st November from 5 to 6.30pm AEDT. Come along and share your seed stories and hear about the provenance and history behind other varieties being stewarded in our network.
Seeds embody more than their genetics. They also carry cultural and historical knowledge from past generations. Seeds can be part of a family’s history or our communities’ traditions.
How can we make sure these stories are carried along with the seeds and not lost? Why is it important to carry these stories forward as we help to preserve these varieties in our gardens?
Join the discussion and share what you know about the history of your varieties.
