About this episode
Dan Brisebois shares his favorite seed books that have influenced his journey as a seed grower.
Let's head over to my library and take a look at the books that have most influenced my journey as a seed grower. Whether you are just starting out or looking to develop your own farm-original variety, these are the titles I return to time and time again. 🌱Basic Seed Books • How to Save Your Own Seeds by Seeds of Diversity Canada • Seed to Seed by Suzanne Ashworth • The Seed Garden by Micaela Colley and Jared Zystro (Editors: Lee Buttala and Shanyn Siegel) 🥕Advanced Seed Books • The Organic Seed Grower by John Navazio 🌸Plant Breeding Books • Breeding Organic Vegetables by Rowan White and Brian Connolly • Breed Your Own Vegetable Varieties by Carol Deppe ✍️One more seed book … The Seed Farmer by Dan Brisebois (I might be a bit biased on this one, but this is the book I wrote to fill the gaps I found in the others!) So, those are my 6 favorite seed books (plus one of my own). I hope these resources inspire you to harvest some seed this year. Enjoy the minisode!
