DESCRIPTION:The UCSC Demeter Seed Library would like to invite community members from 
 all over Santa Cruz and the Bay to our second seed exchange of 2012, 
 happening on Saturday, May 26th from 12-3pm at the UCSC farm! Come join the 
 seed project and gain access to our collection of locally adapted heirloom 
 seeds for free. A seed library is a means by which a community can store 
 and protect its rare heirloom vairities of plants. The event is free to the 
 public and the only stipulation for borrowing seeds is to return 20X the 
 amount of seeds you borrow for at least two varities. This may sound 
 difficult but it really is not, especially when one considers one seed has 
 the potential to produce hundreds of seeds. \n\nWe have been working with 
 local farmers and gardeners to preserve and encourage local food 
 biodiversity. Heirloom species of plants go extinct every day. By growing 
 seeds from the Demeter Seed Library you are directly participating in the 
 preservation of rare varieties of delicious vegetables! Plus they look 
 great and usually aren't available at markets! Come sow the seeds of 
 revolution. Living organisms should not be commodified!\n\nWe are working 
 to create an open sourced seed encyclopedia and eventually would like to 
 see living seed libraries at universities all over the nation. We are 
 breaking ground on this project and would love for you to join us! 
 \n\nContact Andrew Whitman at awhitman@ucsc.edu (760) 214-3301 for more 
 information. Or visit demeterseedsproject.org! \n\nAlso join the first seed 
 and gardening social network: seedlibraries.org to connect with seed savers 
 and libraries all over the bay! \n
