Cindy Barlowe, Seed-Saving Heirloom Gardener

Occupation: Heirloom Seed Saver, Organic Gardener, Freelance Writer

Residence: Caldwell County, North Carolina

Background: As a child, Cindy Barlowe’s maternal grandmother trained her to be a garden helper and shared family stories, traditions and wisdom while they worked. Shortly before retiring from her high school librarian role, Cindy rediscovered the joy of growing a large organic garden. When her parents gave her heirloom seeds saved by both her grandmothers, Cindy was impressed with the plants’ productivity and flavor and she found the seeds opened portals to the past, eliciting memories of life lessons and experiences shared with loved ones.
