About the Organization

Founded in 1994, SEEDS is a two-acre urban garden and kitchen classroom in the heart of Durham. SEEDS develops the capacity of young people to respect life, the earth, and each other through growing, cooking, and sharing food. Developing the capacity of young people includes responsibility, teamwork, leadership, environmental stewardship, equity, community, problem solving and experiential learning.

We will use the plants to increase species diversity in our Healing Garden. This area focuses on native plants, keystone species for pollinators, and medicinals. We use this space to demonstrate the beauty of native plants and importance of habitat building when one gardens while highlighting our native bees, wasp, butterflies, and other wildlife who use them.

We offer learning opportunities and green space to the greater Durham community and strive to steward the land well and teach this to others. The donation of native plants would help us to serve this mission.

Thank you for considering our organization.
