Growing a Greener World Episode 117 - Seed Savers Exchange

On an 890-acre farm in Iowa, the horticultural heritage of America is being preserved one seed at a time. The Seed Savers Exchange, a non-profit, member-supported organization, uses this farm to save and share the heirloom seeds of our garden heritage. Seeds that have been passed down through families as well as those brought over by immigrants are cataloged, stored and propagated so that gardeners around the world can enjoy these diverse plants. By doing so, this organization is forming a living legacy that can be passed on to future generations. Seed Savers keep the largest non-governmental seed bank in the United States and use it to fulfill their mission of saving the world’s varied and endangered plant species. They have 23 acres of trial gardens that also serve as demonstration gardens illustrating organic growing practices and seed saving techniques. Viewers will learn how to save seeds from their own garden and will better understand the importance of doing so.
