annual Community Seed Celebration

4th Annual Community Seed Celebration on Friday, February 12 at the Church of the Nativity in downtown Huntsville.

The event promotes heritage seed and the art of seed saving. Local food and drinks provided.

Live music by the Sandy River Ramblers!

Doors will open at 6pm, and the keynote speaker will begin at 7:15.

We ask for a $0-30 donation at the door – in the spirit of community no one will be turned away. All proceeds are directly given to the Sand Mountain Seed Bank. 

Bring your saved seeds to share! Take seeds home for your 2016 garden! Seed Bank reps will be on hand to teach about heirloom seeds and seed saving techniques.

This year’s speaker will be Karen Wynne of Rosita’s Farm:
