Project Summary
The Downtown Eastside seed library focuses on providing easy to grow seed varieties, that are pollinator friendly, traditional medicinal and generally community based. This included vegetable seeds, flowers, and many herb varieties. Started in the memory of Neil Benson, a gardener in the community, this seed library aims to educate and encourage conservation of biodiversity and our ecosystems. It brings up issues around food insecurity, autonomy, personal and community connectiveness and more. This is a great community of passionate people who want to help make a difference in their own way!
