SO cool to see these and the progress here. I’ve been pretty siloed on Farm and in my immediate region in my ongoing seed work and plant work as well as launching an initiative (slowly - the work is mighty!). However, I remain committed to collaborating in any way I can across the greater Seedscape. I am hosting an Hour talk at the Kootenai County (CDA Idaho) mid May on Saturday the 16th. It would be really cool to showcase these as a means of showing people a way we could collaborate as a broader community.

@DebbieA : It is unclear visiting the Zine/Kit page, in my perhaps inexperience, how one would actually order those kits? Am I missing something? I’d love to get some of these materials for my talk as it is Mid Day at the best time slot where people may really be walking around. I was hoping to showcase this as a bump for ‘Going to Seed’ and as a “We could do something like this. Here in our region. No seriously. Right here. Together.”

Click on the “zine” image at the link above and it will take you to an order page.

I have Limited Time in my Growing Season. When I travel to these Pages I leave confused. So am I seeing it properly that I would have to individually click the images? Individually cart and order individual crop Zines? I would just simply want a Full Kit - whatever that entails. I personally am finding it somewhat cumbersome and confusing at the moment. Is it donation based? What is it exactly? That page appears to have a lot of Description of something I am personally unsure of how to attain or what exactly is in it, honestly. Maybe I’m just deepening my position in Middle-Aged Geezer-dom! :joy: Very real possibility and I apologize if it is obvious to others.

The Zines look beautiful and surely much work has been done to get to this stage. I am not trying to be anything other than constructive in making the access and attainment and participation easeful and clear. Anywho, it isn’t all that important if I accomplish this anytime soon but I do want to understand the possibilities here and how it all works.

@Bizarro Thank you for your feedback on the page. Each kit of 20 zines and seeds is mailed in its own box, so if you would like more than one kit, please order each separately. We ask that you pay the postage. A donation is optional. I hope that makes sense. Please feel free to message me if it’s still unclear. I’m sure we can work something out. We truly appreciate your enthusiasm and would love to support your efforts to share these kits!

Each kit contains the type of seed listed on the graphic, so if you’re wanting more than one type of seed you would need to add each separate kit individually. If you just want one kit for one type of seed, you just order the listing that contains the seed you prefer.
