Free organic seeds

3/30/11 0 comments
Seeds of Change, the awesome people who are trying to stock pile organic seeds to ensure that we ALL have a healthy future, are giving away 100 million seeds in an effort to get more people growing organic. Individuals will receive 25 packets of varied fruits/veggies, herbs and flower seeds while non profits, schools and community groups will get 100 packets. You do have to pay shipping and handling but it's $5 (within the 50 states) which is less than the cost of 2 seed packets in most places. Even if you do consider the cost of shipping, it comes out to only 20 cents per pack of organic seeds. Click the link below ASAP to get in on this offer while you still can :)

While you're at it you should also check out the rest of the Daily Green. It's a pretty awesome site. And in the meantime, try picking up some of these seeds to grow. You never know when you can use the fruits in your kitchen, plus the plants are freezable and cannable as well as organic, and delicious! (My enthusiasm is cheesy, I know ;D)
