Brown paper packages tied up with string and seed packets from the Hudson Valley Seed Library — yes, these are a few of my very-very-number-one-forever-most-favorite things. Take a look at these beauties found yesterday at the New Amsterdam Market. Priced at $3.50/packet, I stocked up to fill Christmas stockings soon to be nailed to the wall with care. (Greetings from NYC; what’s a mantle?)
The mission of the Hudson Valley Seed Library is glorious:
- to create an accessible and affordable source of regionally-adapted seeds that is maintained by a community of caring farmers and gardeners; and,
- to create gift-quality seed packs featuring works designed by New York artists in order to celebrate the beauty of heirloom gardening.
Can I get an AMEN? (And some seeds for Christmas? Thank you, beloved family and friends. Did I mention you’re the best?)
