Dear friends, As librarians working with the Seed Library, our job is to help nurture a community-supported regionally adapted seed supply that is free and accessible to all Pima County residents. We are always exploring new ways to empower gardeners to grow as seed savers. Three years ago, the Seed Library started the community-wide One Seed initiativeopens a new window as one way to encourage more gardeners to incorporate seed saving into their gardening. Like One Book, One Community, we embrace the idea that through shared experience, in this case, of growing, learning, and saving seeds together, we can achieve a greater sense of (comm)UNITY and move closer to a locally sustained, people-powered seed shed. As we continue to grow participation in One Seed Pima County, we invite you to join us in planting seeds for this season’s chosen plant, the Black Russian Sunflower in your community or school garden. And in the spirit of planting seeds, next year, let’s plan to get together as a community to envision future One Seed Pima County efforts! As the saying goes, it starts with a seed. We hope you will consider planting seeds with us! In community,
The Scoop on One Seed:
Special Considerations:
We are asking OSPC participants to commit to only growing this one variety of sunflower this season if they are planning to contribute some of their saved Black Russian Sunflower Seeds to the library. If other varieties of sunflowers are growing nearby they can cross-pollinate, increasing the likelihood of hybrid seeds which cannot be shared through the Seed Library. Social Media:
Highlight the planting, growing, and seed collecting of the Black Russian Sunflowers using the hashtags #OneSeedPimaCounty, #CommunitySupportedSeeds, #BlackRussianSunflower and #SeedLibraryPCPL on Facebook and Instagram.
How to participate…
While supplies last, participants will take home this lovely stake to place in their garden! One Seed, One Community: Sunflowers published first on https://medium.com/@SteampunkPCGames via Tumblr One Seed, One Community: Sunflowers
