Giving Seeds...Giving Life
seed gift packs
from Aurora Farm
There has been, for 10,000 years and more, an honorable custom of gifting seeds; the grandmother's bestowal to her granddaughter on the occasion of the young woman's marriage...seeds passing to and from the neighbors in the celebration of life, giving the promise of life, the wish for fertility, in the certainty of abundance.

Love-in-a-Mist Seedpod

Seeds are tiny but powerful, priceless but given freely by Nature.  Along with other irreplaceable basics of human existence like water and land, seeds are of growing interest to greedy, amoral corporations and governments and need the care of
individual gardeners. Cherish them, save them,
give them away.
