Description
The Great American Seed Up is once again setting up shop in Phoenix. The only “pop-up” seed market in the world will be returning to the North Phoenix Baptist Church at 5757 N. Central Ave. The event features over 100 varieties of seeds for purchase and educational seed classes throughout the day. When seeds are grown, saved and replanted locally, they accrue amazing benefits—hardier crops, more pest-resistance and tastier food.
On Friday, September, 27 doors are open for seed buying from 5 – 9 p.m. Featured speaker, Kimber Lanning of Local First Arizona will discuss the importance of local, healthy food systems and share the benefits of seed saving. On Saturday, September 28 registration begins at 10 a.m. and doors close at 2 p.m. Attendees can participate in several mini classes throughout the day. Presentations will include; how to save seeds and patenting issues that compromise our ability to save seeds; starting seeds; and how to properly store seeds.
Pre-registration is $7.50 per day which covers entry fee, classes, access to all seeds for sale and three recorded seed classes for download. The public can register at GreatAmericanSeedUp.org.
