SPECIAL EVENT!

Grandmother Flordemayo, one of The International Council of Thirteen Grandmothers and founder of The Path will discuss the importance of protecting and increasing our heritage seeds for the future and for our communities. Much of the diversity of seeds is being lost as fewer people are planting the original seeds, as modern agriculture has turned to genetically modified and patented seeds to produce our crops.  The seeds in The Path's collection have come from numerous donations of samples of traditional varieties of corn, beans, squash, grains, vegetables, and herbs.

Grandmother Flordemayo's legacy for the future generations is The Path, an organization that's goal is to conserve and distribute seeds for future generations. This is met through seed conservation, education, and collaboration with other organizations. Attendees are encouraged to bring heritage or heirloom seeds to donate to The Path, or share with others. A limited amount of heirloom seeds from Grandmother Flordemayo's Seed Temple will be available for a donation.

At The Friends of the Library Fire Circle. In the Community Room if there is inclement weather.

A special showing of the movie SEED: The Untold Story begins at 6:30, with a Q&A session with Grandmother Flordemayo afterward. Reservations for the movie are required. For those unable to attend, an encore presentation of the film will take place Friday, May 3 in the Community Room.
