hi friends at the SLOLA! my name is deepa and i am the director of the Seeds to Sew program for the Pemacouture Institute. our project is to collaborate with local seed libraries and tag your seeds for plants that have fiber & dye properties. We have already set up our program with most of the Bay Area libraries and now I’m expanding our reach (I live in Berkeley). Would love to talk more with you about this possibility.
i’m likely coming to LA the weekend of May 5 for the Venice Garden tour and if this sounds interesting to you I would love to meet up and possibly teach a natural dye workshop that weekend in celebration of a possible partnership.
let me know what you think.
best,
deepa natarajan
Do you have seed packet for sale?
Thanks a lot
Laura
Hi Laura, our library runs on a membership system. You pay a one time membership fee of $10 and get access to all of our seed library’s contents to check out for free. Members who don’t bring back borrowed seed are encouraged to make a donation to the SLOLA seed fund. We are looking into hosting plant and seed sales in the future, so check back soon!
I like what your group is doing here in LA and I’m interested in joining and having access to your seeds. I live in the neighborhood and starting my garden now. Are your seeds organic and GMO-free? That is important to me.
Hi Nancy, happy to hear that you’re interested in SLOLA! Yes, all of our seeds are GMO free and for the most part organic and heirloom. I’d encourage you to attend one of our monthly meetings (the 3rd Saturday of each month) at the Learning Garden so you can check out the library’s offerings and someone can be available to get you started or answer any questions. Look forward to meeting you!
