by organizing volunteers to collect, package, and share all kinds of fruit, vegetable, and native plant seeds.
As the story goes, there was"a bit of serendipity" in how the Seed Savers and library partnership came together."Kate is definitely a sustainability warrior" and was hoping to find more engagement opportunities, says Furches. Around the same time, in January 2018, Dieter had been taking classes and working with fellow seed swap volunteers at the Sustainable Food Center.
Growing the network of growers and improving preservation abilities to resist the pressures on native plants is precisely what conservation biologist Minette Marr at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center does every day. An expert in plant identification, Marr is involved with all the different gardens across the center's 284 acres and the 54 ongoing and ever-changing research points for land management.
Discovering new options for home gardens is an added bonus – plants that most people don't think of when they think of Central Texas but grow really well here. Popular seeds to"check out" include the usual suspects like basil, cilantro, tomatoes, and kale. Kate Abel says,"Any kind of wildflower seeds get checked out just as fast as they're added to the collection, and sunflowers, poppies, bluebonnets, blanket flowers, they all fly out of the drawers.
