Seeds for Peace

This is a new pilot project that is starting to grow this year & carrying through to our next growing season in 2024. The aim of this project is to collect seeds from areas of the world that are experiencing conflict today, and sow them at Tilia Market Garden. The idea is developed from the mantra ‘our land is your land’ as a way to help build friendships with people who have been displaced from their land. We have already been kindly gifted 3 different cultivars of cucumber seeds from Syria & Armenia, that have been purchased in a souk in Jordan. We’re asking for people to help us collect seeds from different areas of the world that are experiencing conflict. We’ll run a community sowing day next year, where we can all sow these special seeds together and follow their journey as they provide naturally grown produce for us all to enjoy. If you would like to be involved, are able to access seeds from countries experiencing illegal occupation, conflict or genocide, please connect with me via email: tiliaseedsforpeace@outlook.com. With peaceful gratitude, Donna. x
