The Seed Savers’ Handbook

Many people care passionately about the environment and conserving it for future generations.

An integral part of this is concern for the demise of old-fashioned varieties of useful plants and vegetables.
But philosophical thought and rhetoric alone cannot turn the tide — the timely publication of this informative and practical book will do much to guide ordinary people to becoming caretakers of our diverse seed heritage.
Megg Miller, editor of Grass Roots

Our best recommendation for this book is that it will help you strengthen the wholesome connection between soil, plant and self, by showing you how to select and reproduce the seeds that best respond to the region in which you live.
Scale is not important here. At whatever level you wish to work – from the single pot on the window-sill to a paddock full of earthly delights — you will find The Seed Savers’ Handbook waiting for you, to tell you things you need to know.

I believe this book to be essential for all caring farmers, gardeners, cooks and parents, and I trust that it will speed our return to good nutrition and a healthy society.
