More Amsterdam Seed Exchange Videos

The first is a photo montage of the seed exchange put together by the same person who did the video in my last post. This is a great example of ‘citizen journalism’ — thanks for whoever made these videos!

The second video here is of the day following the seed exchange, where some people got together and started a garden on an empty construction site in Amsterdam.

  1. Love the way this connects people, Patrick; both the event itself and reading about it on your blog. I have put one of the videos on my blog too.
    I will be in the UK and Europe in May 2013….any chance of a get together for bloggers again, in Oxford or beyond?

  2. What a great photo montage! Being too busy with sharing seed and info at the time, it is wonderful to see photo’s with seed and info playing the head role (with music) in this hectic day.
    I will share the link with my fellow sharers; you can find them on http://www.deoerakker.nl In het Nederlands.

    By the way, I loved the videos of the wondering gatherer with varnished nails and the account of the Sunday happening. It reminds me…

  3. Thanks for the nice words everyone.

    Isn’t the Internet great? It’s great the way we can share something like this across the world. I think it’s particularly nice for everyone to see young people getting involved in gardening and seed saving.

    It was an incredibly busy but rewarding day, and I didn’t even have a chance to take any pictures myself. I’m glad other people made some videos and pictures available like this.

    Noor: Thanks for stopping by and leaving the comment. I saw your tweet, but wondered who you were. Now I know. I think I’ve seen comments of yours on the Agricultural Biodiversity Weblog.
