SEEDS is excited to announce our new
Wednesday Produce & Craft Market from 4-7pm.

The Market will be at the Southside Garden (706 Gilbert St) and open to the public.

The Durham Inner-city Gardeners (DIG) will be selling their locally grown produce, herbs and spices. This week includes: Snap Peas, Basil, Onions, Lemon Balm, Spearmint, Carrots, Kale, Chard, Lettuce and Beets!
We are currently accepting other local vendors. It is free to sell and all types of vegetables, fruits, flowers and crafts are encouraged.  
There will also be occasional live music, demonstrations & workshops and plants for sale!
Some garden rules to keep in mind: no smoking, no dogs and no re-sell at the market.
  
Thank you for helping us make this market open and diverse for our whole community!

Wow - what a day!  Many thanks to all who helped make the Fourth Annual Pie Social & Skill Share Auction happen, and to those who help us make it through a tremendous amount of amazing pies.  We might not eat for a week...

Thank you for helping is raise funds to support the DIG Youth.  Final count is not quite done, but it looks like we have raised 1.5 Summer DIG salaries!

Congratulations to James Naquin & Guglhupf for their Grand Prize winning Sweet Potatoe Pie with Carmel-Pecan Crust, our official Best Pie In Town!

Bid on a Skill Share item?  We will contact you this week if you won!

Miss out on the Plant Sale?  Those varieties, and many more, are available at SEEDS daily.

In Loving Memory of Rebekah Resnick

On Monday, September 5, the world lost one of her brightest blossoms in Bekah Resnick. Long-time Garden Manager at SEEDS, Bekah shaped and nurtured our gardens while planting seeds of joy in every person who met her. We miss her deeply.

We invite you, the SEEDS community, to visit the spaces she so lovingly cultivated and to remember the woman who gave so much of herself to the earth.

The Southside Garden at 706 Gilbert Street will be open Mon-Sat during the day for all who wish to visit Bekah's spirit here.

"The Earth laughs in flowers."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
