Mid Blue Mountains Seedsavers are a small but keen group of gardeners dedicated to growing as much of our own organic produce as possible, using locally saved seed varieties.
At our meetings we swap information, ideas, recipes, as well as prepare, pack and catalogue our own home grown seeds.
We cordially invite other food gardening enthusiasts in the Blue Mountains to come and join us. Just bring any seeds that you've grown along with a plate to share for morning tea (You don't have to live in the mid-mountains by the way!)
Our group is affiliated with the Seedsavers Network, which aims to preserve traditional food plant varieties. These varieties have been developed by many generations of farmers and gardeners from all over the world and now form part of our cultural as well as culinary heritage. Unfortunately many of these older hierloom varieties are being lost and are being replaced by a much smaller number of varieties more suited to supermarket and food processing industries. Not only are many of our food crops now patented but we also face the prospect that they may be genetically engineered as well.
We meet approximately 4 times per year on Sunday mornings between 10am and 12 noon
at Bullaburra Progress Association Hall
crn, Noble St and Great Western Highway,
