How seed library groups can lose their sense of wonder and community

Our friend group started a seed library together because we were all passionate about preserving heirloom varieties, but now it feels like work and nobody wants to coordinate the swaps anymore. We used to get together and tell stories about where seeds came from and share our gardening disasters and victories, and now we just text about logistics and who has what.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The bureaucracy of preservation has displaced the very relationships and stories that give seeds their meaning.
