Seed - The Untold Story
Seed and Gardening
Friends,
I had the wonderful
opportunity to attend the Sedona showing of SEED: THE UNTOLD STORY last night. What a stunning
masterpiece! I couldn't think of a way John and Taggart could make the film
better. It was informative, entertaining, and gorgeous. And what a timely topic!
If ever you've been wanting to know more about the loss of genetic diversity on
the planet, the impacts of seed extinction, how rare seeds are discovered all
over the world, or what GMO really means, this is the movie for you. It's told
with truth all while maintaining an optimistic outlook for the future.
We have a chance to
view it here in Flagstaff at Harkins if we can get about 40 more people
to order advanced tickets. There are only four days left to do so! You can order
them here:
View the movie
trailer here for a teaser: http://www.seedthemovie.com/trailer
I'll be at the
event, should we get enough people, with information about our own seed library
and a list of seeds available at our location. I can also answer any questions
you might have after the showing.
Lastly and not
unrelated, please, Please, PLEASE bring the seeds from your end-of-season
harvest back to the seed library. So far I've only had one person return a few
seeds. It's important that we do this both to keep the library going but also
for the preservation of our local diversity.
Happy Friday,
Jackee Alston

They will have Christmas trees in late Nov. - early Dec.. The nursery will be stocked in the spring. The building on the property will be used for events/weddings and as a back-up for nursery events if it rains/snows. Stop by to support one of our local nurseries, see the new site, and visit with Robin and Art.
