What We Sow: On the Personal, Ecological, and Cultural Significance of Seeds
by Jennifer Jewell, 392 pages, 6x9, hardcover. Organized by a year in the life of a seed, Jewell weaves in her personal story of observing seeds and their rhythms from her home base in Northern California. She sheds light on diverse aspects of the modern seed world: international seed banks, neighborhood seed libraries, the seed trade, seed laws and genetic modification. She describes the botanical and ecological context of seeds and shares stories of seed keepers preserving culture through seeds, as well as conservationists championing the resurgence of planting native seeds. Includes vignettes about Fedco and the Wild Seed Project here in Maine. For anyone who has planted a seed with hope and curiosity, this book gives context for that simple yet powerful act. -RS NEW!
