Alice Springs Seed Savers

Date Founded: 
2003-10

Our group has been established for quite a few years now and over the years we have sourced a number of local plants that have been grown in the Alice climate for many years. We also have a good knowledge of what will grow when and have produced a publication called, "The Alice Springs Vege Garden Companion", which is available at the local library. There is a great seasonal planting guide inside.

We meet about four times a year and have a couple of stalls each year for promotion of Seed Savers.

Always looking for more members - membership is free - we simply add you to the mailing list

We are looking for a person with skills to update our webpage and manage mailouts and notices.

Also if you have a few free hours - we always have seed packaging to do. Its a great way to contribute if you can't contribute in the way of seeds or if you can't make meetings. Call Chris and we can organise it.

 

Seedbank

The seedbank will be available at all meetings and you are of course welcome to bring any seed that you would like to contribute to the seed bank.
There are a list of available seeds on the blog address below.
I have started a blog on growing food in Alice Springs called "under the mulberry tree"

Happy gardening, Chris Brock
