Seed Savers Exchange Blog

Seed Savers Exchange is a nonprofit, member supported organization that collects, preserves and shares heirloom seeds for our future. Since 1975, SSE and our supporters have collected the seeds and stories that would otherwise have been lost.

On #heritagefarm this week: Hand-pollinating corn is underway. We hand-pollinate corn to ensure the plants produce seed that is true-to-type and that flowers are not contaminated by the pollen from another variety. #seedsavers #saveseeds
Head's up everyone: Seed Savers Exchange will be CLOSED on Wednesday, July 18, due to road construction. Our campus will be inaccessible for the day, but we will be open for business on Thursday and for the Conference and Campout this weekend. Give us a call if you have questions at (563) 382-5990. Thanks for your understanding!
It’s a beautiful day to be out in the #garden! We are tidying up for Conference & Campout & hope to see you there. The FREE event is July 20 & 21 @ Heritage Farm in Decorah, IA. #seeds #biodiversity #gardenersofinstagram
What gifts are you receiving from your garden? #gardening #grownfromseed #seeds
The Bouquet Dill is looking July 4th festive! Enjoy the holiday & a reminder: the visitors center will be CLOSED Wednesday, July 4.
The Evaluation Gardens at #heritagefarm always have curiosities on display, and the show seems to change on a daily basis! Every summer, we plant and grow varieties from our collection to increase our seed supplies, observe and document varieties, and to evaluate varieties for possible inclusion in our catalog. L to R: Toby Poe’s Purple Bean | Mayo Amaranth | Charlie Munkel’s Peruvian Daffodils #garden #shareseeds #heirloomseeds
Hooray for summer & seeds on sale. Stock up on what you need to plant right now & throughout the summer & save up to $10. See site for coupon & details. #gardening #seeds #summergarden #heirloomseeds
Just a couple of garden pals enjoying a flower together. #nature #pollinators #bees #butterflies
Check out the full schedule for the annual Conference & Campout at the #linkinbio. Speakers from across the country will share about everything from edible landscaping to soil health and southern food ways. Plus, there are plenty of opportunities to explore the gardens and visit with fellow gardeners and seed savers. And it's FREE to attend!
Maybe just the cutest thing you'll see today: Mama 'Alice' and her brand new baby chicks. These Cochin Chickens are a #heritagebreed and you can see them at #heritagefarm!
Radish evaluation at #heritagefarm. We do taste evaluations to help us update descriptions and document the varieties in our collection, and to look for catalog contenders! #heirlooms #tastetest #yum
Mark your calendars! The annual Conference & Campout is coming up July 20-21. New this year, the event is FREE to attend. It promises to be a laid-back weekend celebrating gardening, food, and the community found both in the garden and at the table. Get more details & RSVP @ #linkinbio. #summer #summerevents #decorah #heirloomgardening #biodiversity #gardening
