What better way to help spread diversity than good old fashion seed swapping. But then, not with just any garden seed either. We are trading and passing on heirloom seeds, cuttings, roots and everything organic and non-gmo. By preserving and passing on heirlooms, a wide diversity of seeds and plants will leave more varieties for generations to come.

I've already found myself lost in love with many varieties shared by some new garden friends. Some of the special seeds and plants have long lost the original name of variety. But for some reason you don't forget the name of that special person that shared them with you. I'm watering and caring for plants with a deeper meaning now. Lilies have become known as Cindy's Lilies. Grown with love from her garden. It's a beautiful thing to share your garden in many more ways than one. I heard a quote once that it is like a living scrapbook for family and friends.

The Glory of the Garden

There's not a pair of legs so thin, there's not a head so thick,

There's not a hand so weak and white, nor yet a heart so sick.

But it can find some needful job that's crying to be done,

For the Glory of the Garden glorifieth every one.

Then seek your job with thankfulness and work till further orders,

If it's only netting strawberries or killing slugs on borders;

And when your back stops aching and your hands begin to harden,

You will find yourself a partner in the Glory of the Garden.

Oh, Adam was a gardener, and God who made him sees

That half a proper gardener's work is done upon his knees,

So when your work is finished, you can wash your hands and pray

For the Glory of the Garden, that it may not pass away!

And the Glory of the Garden it shall never pass away!

Rudyard Kipling, 1911, The glory of the Garden

  In Honor of Heirloom Seeds

Behold the lowly heirloom seed

The kind that Grandma sowed

When she had many mouths to feed

And many rows to hoe.

Behold the lowly heirloom seed

It's open pollinated

A remedy for corporate greed

Not copyrighted nor litigated

Behold the lowly heirloom seed

No GM labels here

It's DNA has been codified

By The Heavenly Bio-Engineer.
