  This lesson is really valuable for my situation. I have a small garden space in my suburban home and hope to grow all the vegetables we eat. I plan to share this enthusiasm and passion with my family and community (school garden and community garden) to show that it can be done. Permaculture is truly a paradigm shift toward a regenerative way of life. Act locally and think globally.

  does organic seed means it’s not hybrid? How can I know they are open-pollinated to begin stocking my open-pollinated seeds?

    Hi Susan- I recommend checking out the lesson Knowing Your Seeds 5.4 in Track 3 where we talk about exactly this topic. In short, you could have a hybrid that is organic, but ultimately no, it’s not wise to save seed from because any offspring from a hybrid will likely not have the same traits as the parent.
