Seed Event Sunday

[Akiva Werbalowsky]

Yes, the Seed Saving and Grain Culture workshop/celebration this Sunday near 
Ojai is happening rain or shine, and will probably be the only event of this 
type held this year.

We have room for four more friendly gardener types to join us, including two 
who can come on half-scholarship.

Since we are preparing meals, please let us know as soon as possible if you 
wish to come (today/tonight would be great).

Thanks for all the positive feedback. We'll be having a lot of fun and 
eating very well.
Akiva

SEED SAVING and GRAIN CULTURE
A special one-day Workshop/Celebration for experienced gardeners

Presented by Ecospirit, a California non-profit community group dedicated to 
care of the Earth and all its inhabitants

Ecological nutrition depends upon local community protection of plant
genetic heritage through seed saving and culture. During this unique
hands-on event, we will learn how to select, process, and grow the
healthiest seed available. We will practice these skills and each
participant receives his/her own valuable collection of organic,
locally-grown seed to enjoy this ancient heritage in their homes and
gardens.

Co-taught by:

Lorenz Schaller, director of the Kusa Seed Research Foundation and respected 
as our bioregion's most knowledgable organic grain culture expert. The 
unique seedbank which Lorenz stewards is living testimony of ancient human 
partnership with nourishing plants.

Akiva Werbalowsky, grower of highly diverse food and medicine gardens
in our bioregion, founder of the California State University Permaculture 
Program, and perennial organizer of community seed exchanges.
