Nurturing Nature & Saving Seeds

from The Valley Today Hosted by Janet Michael

In this episode, host Janet Michael kicks off "part one" of a conversation with Kerry Higdon. Kerry is an NSV Master Gardener (class of 2020) and the program lead for the upcoming Seed Exchange (tomorrow's show topic.) The conversation today revolves around Kerry's efforts to transform her backyard into a meadow to support wildlife despite facing initial opposition from the town of Edinburgh. Kerry shares the detailed process of obtaining permission from the town council, including speaking with the mayor, submitting a formal petition, and gathering community support via a GoFundMe campaign. Kerry also discusses the practicalities of seed saving and touches on the importance of understanding specific seed requirements, labeling, and storing methods, as well as the benefits of allowing a garden to support wildlife through different stages of plant life.
