 Want to know more about the many creative and inspiring ways local residents are growing their own? We've created a new case studies section on the Harvest website to share people's stories about food growing - whether at home, at the allotment or through a school or community project. We've got a few case studies up now, and several more to write, so keep checking back. We'd love to hear from you if you've got a food growing story you'd like to share so please get in touch! |

 All food growers should be seed savers! Not only is it more economical to save seeds rather than buying them, but saving and swapping with others can help you to access new varieties, find and keep the best ones for your location, and help ensure some varieties of plants are not lost forever.
The Harvest 'seed saving' course takes place on Saturday 21 August, 10am-2pm. The course is run by the very knowledgeable guys at the Whitehawk Community Food Project, who maintain the largest seed collection in Brighton, with over 100 varieties of vegetables. Participants are welcome to bring seed to share and swap and there will be seeds available to take home afterwards. Book now to reserve your place! |
