Ross Moster said… - Hi Tamara,
Welcome to the Waste group. We've been inactive (for one thing, no convenor), but I've been thinking about scheduling a potluck/meeting where members could meet one another, explore interests, and see what emerges. Will keep you posted.
Cedar Cottage seed savers is off to a good start; the 2nd meeting is coming up in early Feb, and there's now a blog. http://ccseedsavers.wordpress.com/.
You can reach them on the Seed Savers page (Robin, Cylia, Tara, Amy, Peter, Vicky, etc.) or at a rel="nofollow">[email protected]>.
I hope things are going well with you.
Cheers,
Ross
