Seed Savers Exhibit - NY
If you are traveling anywhere near the New York City area this summer, try to schedule a visit to Seed Savers Exchange -- in the Bronx.
The "Seed Savers Heirloom Vegetable Garden" is one of six special exhibitions that will be on display at the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) from June 27 through September 13.
Our heirloom garden will be planted with the most outstanding heirloom varieties that originated long ago in the Mid-Atlantic area, such as Early Jersey Wakefield cabbage, Henderson's bush lima bean and Jimmy Nardello's frying pepper.
The garden is being designed by Rosalind Creasy, a California landscape designer, who introduced the concept of "edible landscaping." She is a long-time Seed Savers supporter and currently serves on SSE's Board of Directors.
Other exhibitions in NYBG's "The Edible Garden" celebration this summer include:
* The Heirloom Tomato
* Tropical Fruits, Roots, and Shoots
* Martha Stewart's Herb Garden
* Vegetables and Kids
* Be A Seed Saver
