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.

If you have some down time this week and are thinking about your garden, don't miss the Exchange, our gardener-to-gardener seed swap. You'll find plenty of rare seeds, beloved by the gardeners who share them. Request seeds from other gardeners and perhaps list some of your own home-grown seeds to share. https://exchange.seedsavers.org/
Happy holidays from all of us at Seed Savers Exchange. We are so grateful for our community of gardeners, seed savers, and supporters. Please note that our offices are closed next week and we will reopen on January 2 in the new year. All the best to you and yours!
Saving, safeguarding, and sharing our seed supply is at the heart of our work, and that mission is carried out in myriad ways. Varieties like the Ausilio Thin Skin Italian pepper, Jebousek lettuce, and Agostino Reghitto Genovese basil are deposited at the USDA Seed Bank in Colorado and the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in Norway as a “back-up” for our collection. These same varieties are also shared with gardeners everywhere to grow, enjoy, and cherish. With your support, we can continue protecting and sharing these treasured gifts for generations to come. #saveseeds #nonprofit #seedsavers #heirloomseeds #biodiversity
