The Horticultural Society of South Jersey will present Saving Seeds: From Your Garden to the Global Vault on Tuesday, Sept. 8 at 7 p.m. at the Carmen Tilelli Community Center in Cherry Hill. The event is free and open to the public.
The presenter for the event will be Jeff Quattrone. An artist by accident and a seed advocate by choice, Quattrone uses his creativity and decades of communications and marketing experience to talk about the state of seeds and encourage people to join the conversation.
Quattrone has established two seed libraries and is a Community Seed Organizer with Seed Savers Exchange and Seed Matter’s Community Seed Resource Program. He works with Rodale Institute’s Organic Allentown Program, and with Slow Food’s National School Garden program.
