Our next event …
Don’t just reach for the glyphosate! We will look at safer, more environmentally friendly ways of dealing with these “plants in the wrong place”. Best of all, we will learn to view them as friends with a multitude of valuable and delicious uses.

Please come and join us for a screening of the newly released film “Seed, the Untold Story”. We thought it the perfect movie to share with fellow seed savers!
We’re hosting a one-off screening, on Wednesday 9th August, at 6:30pm, at the Sustainable Activity Centre, on the Lincoln Causeway, Wodonga.
Few things on Earth are as miraculous and vital as seeds. Worshipped and treasured since the dawn of humankind. In the last century, 94% of our seed varieties have disappeared. Continue reading

Bring your item along to ‘show and tell’. Alternatively, a photo, link or description are fine too!

We’re taking a virtual garden tour! All photos by Thea.
We all love to visit gardens (and we’ll do that again as a group in November!) but if a physical visit isn’t possible, how about a virtual one?
Thea & Luke’s Albury rental garden has been a source of inspiration (for us and their social media followers!) and experimentation (for them). We were sad to learn that Thea and Luke are moving on from Albury, but Thea’s kindly agreed to share some of her experiences gardening in our climate with us before they go.
Come along to find out more! Continue reading

Seed Savers Albury-Wodonga has had terrific support from the National Environment Centre (NEC) for our activities since we first formed (technically, even before the group became official!). We’re most grateful for this and the use of the NEC as a venue for our events.
Due to a number of changes in circumstances, we are moving our base from the NEC to the Sustainable Activity Centre, known as the SAC, in Wodonga. The centre is in the former Tourist Information building on the Lincoln Causeway, between Hot House Theatre and La Maison Cafe. The SAC offers community groups like ours a central location to host events and store our equipment. We think it’s going to be a great fit for us! Continue reading
