Looking for seeds

Hello Everyone!

Please begin searching for heirloom seed as you think about prep for class. We are especially looking for those that are significant to the county/state/region in the past or present. I appreciate your help and welcome any questions.

To get you started, check:

Seed Savers Exchange

Southern Exposure Seed Exchange

Heavenly Seed

Clemson and the USDA webpages

forums on gardening in SC or gardening in general--> possibly Organic Gardening magazine or Mother Earth News

local resources: family members, friends, your farmer's market vendor, etc.

AND if anyone likes history, even popular literature on the history of Charleston plantations might mention foodways or important plants

Any ideas are valuable here. This is a big project, requiring a little bit of sleuthing. Thanks again! Looking forward to hearing from our beekeeper tomorrow :)
