Seed Share Project Launched

We all want to save the planet, but actually doing it seems an insurmountably large task. The truth is that there isn't some giant sweeping policy or gesture that can instantly sort it all out. What it is going to take are millions of tiny tiny actions and changes that we all make every day. The biggest ocean started with a single drop of water.

Our allotment is lucky to have a really supportive and forward-thinking owner, who is always eager to explore ways to make our local environment better for us, our local wildlife, and our environment. With his permission, today was the first day of a new seed sharing project that we have spearheaded at our Allotment. The idea is that everyone with unused or unwanted seeds will put them in the box, and anyone who wants them will take them and sow them.

We know that this is a really small thing and it's hardly going to save the planet alone, but every tiny step we can make to reduce waste is a step in the right direction. We also hope it will help grow the sense of community and comradery at our Allotment. We are already a really friendly and open group of people, but little projects like this help to knit us even closer together. Happy Growing Everyone!
