Values

Generosity: Heirloom seeds promote the spirit of generosity through sharing stories around the seeds' origin and what that means to the ones who grow them, and through sharing the seasons crop with friends and family.
Sustainability: Using organic methods and native habitat shows people they do not need fancy equipment to provide themselves with wholesome foods. This in turn lightens the foot print of previous practices that we are seeing the harmful results of and the legacy it is leaving future generations.
Flexibility: The long term idea of growing this project reminds us that we need flexibility to understand that each area may have its own set of needs and to know that there is no large stamp that we can simply stamp into the earth and move on to the next project. It reminds us to be sensitive to our surroundings and the awareness that entails.
Mutuality: Every person plays a role in the success of a garden. Each person may provide feed back, stand side by side with one another in planning and caring and share as a community the harvest of coming together beyond both economic and social boundaries.
