Seeds of Change
Recently I had a moment of synchronicity of the sort one simply must act on.
I was flipping through a book called Animal, Vegetable, Miracle (great autobiographical chronicle by Barbara Kingsolver, incidentally, about an experiment with growing all her own food for a year) and I learned about a progressive seed company called Seeds of Change.
Seeds of Change is a New Mexico-based seed company that takes it one step further than organic. Their seeds promise to be untouched by the hands of genetic-modification and other sorts of scientific meddling.
As a company, Seeds of Change is committed to bringing back nature’s finest in the form of heirloom vegetables and flowers.
(I’m so enamored with the mission of this company that I want to repeat their a splice from their web site:
“Our organic seeds represent a starting point for change. They epitomize the best of our genetic heritage…”)
I was already intrigued by Seeds of Change when I just happened to see a display case of their products at Pharmaca. I loitered there for quite a while, salivating over the lavender bergamot, the cinnamon basil, and the medicinal borage.
Now, I am not exactly set up for gardening in my urban apartment, but I want to do my part to support this company by spreading the word.
Because growing your own heirloom vegetables and herbs – even just for fun and one at a time – isn’t that another lovely way to build a bridge to your better side?
Seeds of Change,
Amy
