Ideal for home gardeners, chefs, and farmers alike, this book empowers readers to conserve genetic diversity, enhance sustainability, and cultivate heirloom varieties with confidence. ## Description Winner of the American Horticultural Society Award for Excellence In Garden Book Publishing Winner of the Silver Medal for Best Reference from the Garden Writer’s Association Filled with advice for the home gardener and the more seasoned horticulturist alike, The Seed Garden: The Art and Practice of Seed Saving provides straightforward instruction on collecting seed that is true-to-type and ready for sowing in next year’s garden. In this comprehensive book, Seed Savers Exchange, one of the foremost American authorities on the subject, and the Organic Seed Alliance bring together decades of knowledge to demystify the time-honored tradition of saving the seed of more than seventy-five coveted vegetable and herb crops—from heirloom tomatoes and long-favored varieties of beans, lettuces, and cabbages to centuries-old varieties of peppers and grains. With clear instructions, lush photographs, and easy-to-comprehend profiles on individual vegetable crops, this book not only teaches us how to go about conserving these important varieties for future generations and for planting out in next year’s garden, it also provides a deeper understanding of the importance of saving these genetically valuable varieties of vegetables that have evolved over the centuries through careful selection by farmers and home gardeners. Through simple lessons and master classes on crop selection, pollination, roguing, and the processes of harvesting and storing seeds, this book ensures that these time-honored traditions can continue. Many of these vegetable varieties are treasured for traits that are singular to their strain, whether that is a resistance to disease, an ability to grow well in a region for which that crop is not typically well suited, resistance to early bolting, or simply because it is a great-tasting variety. In an age of genetically modified crops and hybrid seed, a growing appreciation for saving seeds of these time-tested, open-pollinated cultivars has found a new audience from home vegetable gardeners and cooks to restaurant chefs and local farmers. Whether interested in simply saving seeds for home use or working to conserve rare varieties of beloved squashes and tomatoes, this book provides a deeper understanding of the art, the science, and the joy of saving seeds. Review: WOW - awesome reference book - great pics - great info - Like other reviewers, I am a bit stunned at the in-depth plant profiles - far beyond my expectations, no wimpy lists with two lines of information for each plant and the coffee table size of this book. What a wonderful surprise! The pictures rival any coffee table garden book:), yes, they do! While I didn't realize that this book is only about vegetables I was pleased to see that it included six large pages about sunflowers . Turns out the "Daisy" plant that lived in my garden for years was really a Sunflower:) Helianthus tuberosus aka Jerusalem Artichoke a perennial veggie. I hadn't considered growing sunflowers for seed, but after reading up on those big, bold and beautiful Helianthus annuus I think I'll give it a try both for me and the birds:). If you are a "prepper" I bet you'll love this book because it includes great information on an assortment of grains, beans and potatoes. I was happy to see profiles on Dill, Fennel, Parsley, Garlic, Chives, Celery - all of them in my Tampa Bay area garden. My next foray will be into Amaranth, Chicory and Peanut - all represented in this book. Currently trying out Leek and Endives (just sprouted) you gotta love fall gardening in Florida. This book goes well beyond basic information - the Master Class section takes it to the next level. Overall this book is a solid ten stars - five stars do not do it justice. It is a steal at this price and a beautiful reference book you can use for years to come. My only criticism is the organization - it would have been nice to have a separate section on the many grains and beans (rice, buckwheat, quinoa, oats ... ) instead of presenting everything under its Latin name - but then I discovered in the appendix there is an alphabetical list - so I can find Rice under "R". Highly recommended - amazing bang for the buck. Review: A highly informative book - These book is about saving seeds and what you need to know. It has two main sections. The first sections explains in detail all aspects botany pertaining to seeds saving and preservation of genetic diversity of crops. The second section has particulars for each plant in two or three pages. It also has a glossary and charts for quick comparisons of plants. This is a very thorough book, but is simple enough for the average gardener. ## Features - Ships from Vermont ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #100,640 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #52 in Sustainable Agriculture (Books) #85 in Vegetable Gardening #98 in Organic & Sustainable Gardening & Horticulture | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 292 Reviews | ## Images ![The Seed Garden: The Art and Practice of Seed Saving - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81xkR1nFumL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WOW - awesome reference book - great pics - great info *by R***E on December 5, 2019* Like other reviewers, I am a bit stunned at the in-depth plant profiles - far beyond my expectations, no wimpy lists with two lines of information for each plant and the coffee table size of this book.
