Take a look at a small community-based seed collective in the Southeast and meet some of Melissa’s favorite crops that she saves seed to share with her community. Learn along the way about some practical how-to seed saving tips for small scale growers wanting to know how to save and share their own seeds without a lot of fancy things to do so. An emphasis on overcoming the challenges of hot and humid climates is addressed, including some techniques for timely seed harvesting, processing, and storage. Hear some stories, ideas, and inspiration for how Melissa’s collective works closely with a diversity of partners to truly make their seeds part of the community.
