Bellingen Seed Savers

Date Founded:

2008-12

The seeds of Bellingen Seed Savers were sown at a Transition Bellingen/Local Food Network Cafe ‘Sowing Seeds for the Future’ in September 2008. These seeds germinated and continue to show vigorous growth. We have grown from five people to an average of 15-20 attending Gatherings and a mailing list of approx. 120.

We gather on the first Thursday afternoon of the month, in a variety of venues, for discussions and sharing of seeds and plant materials, visits to gardens and practical workshops.

Our gardens and experience are very diverse but we all share a keen desire to learn more about sowing, growing, harvesting, cleaning and storing open-pollinated, non-hybrid seeds.

Our aim is to to ensure a reliable source of delicious, nutritious local food into the future – whatever it brings.

We seek seeds and plants that will grow well in the Bellingen area (20km south and inland of Coffs Harbour on the Mid North Coast of NSW), whether they have been handed down through generations of local growers or have been brought in from elsewhere and adapted to our conditions. This area has a range of microclimates, with variations in planting and harvesting times.

We welcome anyone who shares our aims and enthusiasm - contact Irene Wallin on 6655 9090 or email: treeferns@westnet.com.au/
