Description
We believe saving seeds is a fundamental human right and that access to seed-saving education should not be dependent on an individual's ability to pay money for it. We offer our seed-saving zine on a sliding scale to support the rampant spread of seed-saving education throughout our communities. Pay what you can, and we'll pass the abundance along to support others on their seed-saving journey!
Learn how to save your own seeds with this PDF version of our Seed Saving Zine! It's easy and fun!
This 35-page homemade zine walks you through the basics of saving seeds off dozens of popular vegetables and herbs and features beautiful artwork from our friend Adriana!
