Join the Mendocino County Seed Circle Project: Boost Local Food Supply and Enhance Plant Diversity

The Mendocino County Seed Circle, working with the Fort Bragg Seed Library, is a community project aimed at increasing local plant diversity. The project involves community members growing local seeds for a season. At the end of the season, the best plants are chosen, their seeds are saved, and returned to the library for future use.

The main goal of the Mendocino County Seed Circle is to encourage the mixing of different plant varieties. This is intended to help plants adapt to local conditions and improve their health in future generations. The project focuses on robust, nutrient-rich food crops chosen by the community.

The seeds for these crops are available to any interested gardener. This year's seeds include runner beans, dry beans, green beans, coastal flour corn, coastal melons, coastal sweet corn, cucumbers, kale, maxima, and summer squash. These seeds are a diverse mix aimed at enhancing plant robustness, adaptability, and variety.

The Mendocino County Seed Circle invites all gardeners to join the project. The goal is to boost local food supply resilience, one crop at a time. Interested parties can sign up for a Seed Kit via a link provided by the project.

For those new to the project, a video explaining the goal is available. The Mendocino County Seed Circle is a novel way to preserve and increase local plant diversity, encourage community participation in sustainable farming, and ensure the availability of robust, nutrient-rich food crops for future generations.
