Come expand your seed collection, learn some seed history & best practices, and connect with fellow growers! Bring seeds to swap if you have them, stories, feedback from your garden’s last growing season, anything to offer to the bonfire. Soup and drinks provided!
A bonfire was provided to ceremonially burn Christmas trees, and an ice lantern was built for Brigit and Spring. A climate emergency reading library was also offered for attendees, and funds were raised for a local organizer’s LANDBACK initiative.
This event is co-hosted by organizer Alex DePorre and Taxonomy Press.
