OSA's ‘The Seed Garden’ in top 5 gardening books

Posted

“The Seed Garden – the Art and Practice of Seed Saving,” a collaboration between Organic Seed Alliance (OSA) of Port Townsend and Seed Savers Exchange (SSE), has been named as one of the top five gardening books published in North America in 2015. The award is given annually by the American Horticultural Society.

Written with the backyard gardener in mind, the book details the seed-saving practices for more than 70 crop types. “The Seed Garden” was written by Micaela Colley and Jared Zystro of OSA, edited by Shanyn Siegel and Lee Buttala, and published by SSE.

“This is the only book people will need to grow plants and save their seed," said horticultural society member Jeff Cox.

The 2016 book awards are to be presented on Thursday, June 2, during the Great American Gardeners Awards Ceremony and Banquet at River Farm, the American Horticultural Society's national headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia. For more information about the book, visit tinyurl.com/hnpqctp.
