The Story of America’s Greatest Seed Houses

Saving the Seeds: the Story of America’s Greatest Seed Houses
 Since 1784 the D. Landreth Seed Company has been providing one of the world’s most extensive selections of fine lawn and garden seeds. The firm introduced America to some of our favorite seeds, including the Zinnia, the white potato, various tomato varieties and their own Bloomsdale spinach. Barbara Melera is President and CEO of the Landreth Seed Company, as well as an instructor at Rutgers Gardens in New Freedom, PA and she will introduce us to the Why’s and How’s of saving the seeds. Find out what makes some seeds so special Monday, January 6, 7:30 PM at the Maplewood Memorial Library, 51 Baker St., Maplewood, NJ. The meeting is open to the public, admission is free and refreshments (often home made!) are served.
