Description: The Seed Savers calendar pictures a wonderful collection of heirloom vegetables that add new tastes to our tables and flowers that add new faces in our gardens. In gentle defiance of commercial growers and in harmony with nature's plurality, this calendar argues convincingly that growing plants from the past makes our gardens better today while ensuring biodiversity for the future. Imagine having only one kind of tomato! Notes: Royalties benefit the Seed Savers Exchange in Decorah, Iowa; a nonprofit group dedicated to preserving heirloom fruits and vegetables. Delicious recipes are provided for each month by colleagues at the Chefs Collaborative, a nationwide effort to promote sustainable food choices for the next century. Additional text gives history and background of each heirloom vegetable featured in the calendar.
