The Gloucester Project Seed Savers

Date Founded: 
2009-11

 Coordinators: Marnie Johnson and Kerry Hartigan

We have formed our seed savers group as part of TuckerGardenPatch which is an initative of The Gloucester Project. The Tucker Garden Patch is our first site and is a practical demonstration, education and working site. We are encouraging and supporting local growers. We are highlighting sustainable techniques for growing fruit and vegetables under changing climate conditions. We are gathering and sharing information about suitable crops for our region. We are demonstrating efficient methods of water usage, developing techniques for growing nutritional foods and enhancing peoples skills towards self sufficiency. We will provide information about the importance of food miles and a low carbon footprint and demonstrate the economic benefits of increasing local food production. We are also having lots of fun and working with wonderful like-minded people!
