Save Seeds

Save seeds from your fruit, veg and herb plants and make growing your own much more affordable. Plus, if you save seeds from your best plants, you’ll end up with superhero varieties that positively thrive in our climate and soils. And you’ll have seeds to share with other members of Moffat Seed Library. What’s not to like?

Why Seed Saving Matters

For our food systems to be more resilient, we need to reconnect with the practice of saving seeds. That means cultivating, sharing, and protecting our seeds — not just in specialized seed banks (which is the ‘big tech’ version of seed saving), but in gardens, allotments, and farms everywhere. The best and most effective way to protect plant diversity is for all of us to actively grow them, year after year.

When we embrace seed saving, we protect our food sovereignty, honour our cultural traditions, and help create a more sustainable, ecologically harmonious world. Faced with the twin challenges of climate change and the increasing consolidation of the food industry, seed saving is more than just a nice tradition; it is a powerful catalyst for change, one which allows us to reclaim control over our food systems and create a resilient, sustainable future for future generations.
