Seed Savers Exchange
I’ve posted several times now about the Seed Savers Exchange (SSE), for example in this post explaining how it works.
Since the SSE works on a calendar year basis, now is a good time to join to make sure you are in sync with them. It can also be a good holiday gift for a special gardener in your life.
It takes some time to learn how it all works and understand the kinds of things listed in their ‘yearbook’ or member seed listings. Beyond that, assuming you will offer your own seeds to other members, it takes time to learn how to save seeds. Becoming a fully contributing member isn’t the kind of thing you do just within a few months.
If you were ever considering joining, it might be worth it to pay for a year’s membership and see if it’s something you are interested in.
As I’ve mentioned in earlier posts a SSE membership, while open to anyone in the world, is most useful to people living in the US or Canada. People living in other places will probably find it too expensive, and in addition local import regulations may limit what you can actually get.

I took your advice and joined. Now I’m anxiously awaiting the Yearbook in February.
I’m really looking forward to my first year as a SSE member and think it will help me move forward as an heirloom gardener. Thank you for pushing me in that direction.
