Seed Sale

Student leaders of the BSCI (Building Sustainable Communities Initiative) at Concordia College are holding a seed sale to raise funds to support the organic campus garden. This fundraiser is made possible by Seed Savers Exchange in Decorah, Iowa, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving biodiversity and heirloom seeds for the home garden. http://www.seedsavers.org/

The seed sale will take place from 10:00-6:30pm, February 7-9th in the Knutson Campus Center Atrium. Seeds are sold in packets of four and because they are open-pollinated heirlooms, can be saved from year to year.
