Critics Review
“Susannah Abbey has done a great service to future generations by detailing how the seed-saving movement in Arid America began. Taking the story back well before the first gardening magazines featured seed savers in their pages, she corrects lapses and errors in that history, honoring the Original Keepers of the Seed as well as nearly forgotten activists. I am grateful that she has provided us with a richer, more multicultural account of these episodes than what has ever appeared in print before.” – Gary Paul Nabhan, author of Enduring Seeds: Native American Agriculture and Wild Plant Conservation
“Seed Saving and Sharing in the Southwest weaves together threads of geology, history, politics, and Indigenous practice to demonstrate solutions to our most urgent collective problems. The seed keepers introduced to us throughout this book hold inspiration and answers for us all.” – Tessa Desmond, director of the Seed Farm at Princeton University
