Bellingen Environment Centre Spring Plant Fair Stall Pics

After all that seedpacking and labelling we send into our community thousands of saved seeds suitable for our local climate because the seeds come from locally grown plants. It is always a pleasure to work on our Seedsavers stall becuase we are working with fellow seedsavers who share our passion for growing food locally.

We has a busy day with lots of interest in our seeds and plants. We aren't trying to make a profit, just cover our costs and spread our seeds and plants because we believe that growing food locally with heritage seeds benefits us and the planet.


We had many seed varieties and perennials edible plants as well.

Member Nick was there, in the gazebo alongside, to talk about permaculture principles.

We will visit Nick's garden soon.

1. Seeds for packing and plants for potting.  
2. Tools for digging and plant pots.
