SeedSavers Taranaki was featured in the Seed Library Network (over 11,000 subscribers interested in seed libraries and seed sovereignty)! 🫘 🎉

"Seedsavers Taranaki, based on the west coast of New Zealand’s North Island, began with a simple goal: to strengthen local food security and resilience by saving and sharing heritage seeds. From its humble beginnings in 2013, Seedsavers Taranaki’s first seed library consisted of just a few packets of heritage seed stored in a cardboard shoebox. Today, in 2026, that little collection has grown into nine seed libraries located across urban and rural communities throughout Taranaki."
