[Green] Fwd: Seed Saving Inventory

[gbanz42 at suddenlink.net]

It's my recollection that the seed exchange was done in the past as part of the winter gardening classes held in our Fellowship Hall. These classes have not yet been arranged for 2016.

I have heard that the UU Church does an annual seed exchange and I would love the opportunity to connect with some of the seed savers in the hopes of including them in our inventory, inviting them to our seed exchanges, and possibly including them in newly founded Southeast Ohio Seed Savers Company. Here <http://www.communityfoodinitiatives.org/soss/> is additional information on the Southeast Ohio Seed Savers, and here <http://www.communityfoodinitiatives.org/seed-sovereignty/> is a bit more general information on our work with seed sovereignty.

I also wanted to make you aware that CFI will be hosting two upcoming seed exchanges - Saturday, February 20th and Saturday, March 26th both from 1-3pm. I would be happy the pass along more details on the event as we get further along in the planning process.
