The Seed Garden by Lee Buttala, Shanyn Siegel, et al. 

This book came out just last week, and the subtitle is The Art and Practice of Seed Saving.

The Seed Garden won the American Horticultural Society Award for Excellence in Garden Book Publishing. It is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to save true-to-type seed that is ready to sow in next year’s garden.

This comprehensive book is a collaboration between the esteemed Seed Savers Exchange and the Organic Seed Alliance. Readers will learn the invaluable tradition of saving seeds for more than seventy-five best-loved vegetable and herb crops―from heirloom tomatoes and beans to lettuces, cabbages, peppers, and grains.

I love the photos in this book—they are beautiful and relatable. The plant profiles are nicely laid out, and the seed-saving instructions are crystal clear, providing a thorough master class-level presentation of the art, the science, and the joy of saving seeds.

This book is 350 pages of indispensable, clearly written advice for growing plants and saving seed—and it’s a beautifully illustrated resource to boot.

You can get a copy of The Seed Garden by Lee Buttala, Shanyn Siegel, et al. and support the show using the Amazon Link in today's Show Notes for around $22.
