Canberra Seed Savers

Canberra Seed Savers We work cooperatively to protect our heritage of open-pollinated seeds and grow a locally-adapted Living Seed Bank to share with our community.

We aim to educate and inspire more seed savers🌱 Join with us and be a member of the Canberra Seed Savers Cooperative! Canberra Seed Savers is a co-operative of home food growers and farmers across the Canberra and Southern Tablelands region. We grow from open-pollinated seeds and (as well as eating great home grown-food) we harvest, save and share seeds for next season. Along the way, we work to engage more people in our community and share the abundance. We're building a living seed bank, keeping the seeds growing across many diverse gardens, farms and balconies, building community and environmental resilience. Together we work on projects like the Mobile Seed Libraries and Seedlings for the Community as well as running festival and market stalls, workshops and having regular get-togethers and seed swaps. There's lots to be done from growing seedlings to packing seeds to becoming custodian of a seed variety. And everyone is welcome. Join Canberra Seed Savers: https://forms.gle/rdGYmcr4XtJ7kp9K6
($10 waged/$5 unwaged/student per year)

Joining Canberra Seed Savers co-operative is a great way to get more involved, get your hands dirty, be part of making the decisions about what we do next, meet and work with great people, and access seeds from the seed bank. Membership is $10 waged or $5 unwaged/student per year and as members we access seeds from the seed bank according to our contributions of home grown seeds, creative efforts and labour that benefit the cooperative and to help meet our collective aims. For example, if you can't contribute seeds right now, come along to a Seedy Saturday and help to sort the seed collection and take home some seeds to grow 🙂

*Canberra Seed Savers Cooperative Ltd is a not-for-profit, non-distributing cooperative registered in the ACT. Members do not receive dividends or share in profits from the Cooperative. We are based at the Canberra Environment Centre, corner of Lennox Crossing and Lawson Crescent, Acton.

If you have seeds to swap, bring them along and take some home some new gems for your garden. You can take home an equivalent amount of seeds to what you donated! Please make sure that seeds you bring are grown without the use of chemicals.

If you have no seeds, you're in luck because we have LOTS! You can browse our seed library and purchase packets of locally grown seeds from herbs, vegetables and flowers!

Unfortunately there won't be a dedicated kids activity this time, but as always there will be colouring sheets to keep little ones entertained.

🌻 Crop Swap Table! 🌻 If you’ve got some extra produce (or bulbs, cuttings etc.) and you’d like to swap, bring them along too!

🌱All ages

🌱Free! No RSVP necessary

☕️Tea, coffee and some snacks provided - feel free to bring something to share.

If you would like to volunteer to help at the event we would love some newbies! Send us an email at [email protected]

CALLOUT: for native seeds! Our native seed group is looking to expand our box so would be very excited for donations - just make sure they are collected responsibly (ask us if you want more info on this). Our group focuses on educating and learning together, demystifying native seeds!

Lots of fun on a lovely sunny (although slightly windy!) afternoon at the Canberra Environment Centre with a lovely bunch of people talking about Growing Herbs and Veggies from Seed.

Thanks to the Canberra Environment Centre for hosting us and to all the lovely people who came along, got their hands dirty and played with the seeds!
