Seed Savers - Decorah

Mom and I drove up to the Heritage Farm for Seed Savers Exchange in Decorah, IA last weekend. It was beautiful and overwhelming. This is a preservation group who collect heirloom varieties of seeds to preserve and continue the growth of 1000s of varieties of vegetables, flowers and herbs. Reading through the histories of some of these seeds is both touching and a tribute to the spirit of gardening. While I'm not quite to the stage of saving seeds from my garden, I'm researching and will probably start implementing saving my favorites next year.

Here are some of the highlights from the farm.
