According to Karin, people love
coming to the greenhouse hum,
although it is four miles off the
main route to Homer City.
“We have critters running
around and are kind of laid back,”
Karin said of the secluded hum.
Heirloom seeds are often part of
heritage and handed down through
generations. Many plants are taken
for granted as being part of gran
ny’s garden or something Uncle
Ed grows in his garden, but a clos
er look may reveal that the plants
are actually grown from seed
saved through the years. Families
need to be aware of this or the seed
may be lost when the grower pas
ses on.
A prime example of this is what

happened to one of Karin’s
friends. When the family dispersed
the deceased grandmother’s
belongings, they found carefully
wrapped flower seeds she had
brought from Europe 60 years
before her death. She had planted
them every year until her death.
“Unfortunately, the family
threw the seeds away and another
cultivar and memory is lost to us
by accident, and possibly gone
forever,’’ Karin said.
Many ethnic groups preserve
seed as part of their heritage.
According (o Karin, one of the best
ethnic groups at preserving seed
heritage are the Italians, who save
seeds from tomatoes known to
make the best sauces and pastes.
The Amish most often save seeds

distant (daces. Archeologists have
found evidence of ancient South
American peoples saving chili
pepper seeds from 7000 BC and
the Slavic people have successful
ly preserved many pepper variet
ies. Russians believed in the
importance of saving seeds and
had an amazing seed bank. During
the last clash a few yean ago, the
scientists who were barricaded in
the seed bank died of starvation
because they refused to eat seeds
that w«e stored there.
Many heirloom seeds have a
