My Favorite Places: Native Seeds/SEARCH, Tucson, AZ

Pics from Native Seeds/SEARCH, Tucson, Arizona. The fragrance of warming and earthy spices welcomes you as you enter Native Seeds/SEARCH. They are a nonprofit organization “working to strengthen food security in the Greater Southwest by conserving our region’s unique crop diversity and teaching others to do the same.” (nativeseeds.org) I could spend hours looking at the variety of seeds, grains, beans, flours, local food, and Native American art. Please check out their website for info on their wonderful works including a seed bank and seed library, educational resources, and community seed grants. I actually received a grant of seeds from them for a childrens’ program I ran a few years ago. The kids had so much fun planting the seeds and learning about how things grow. Do stop in if you’re in Tucson!
