The Wood River Seed Library is proud to present an icon of the seed saving movement, Grandmother Flordemayo. Born in the highlands of Central America under the sign of the seed, in Mayan astrology, she is a Curandera Espiritu, healer of divine spirit, and one of the founding members of the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers. Her visions guided her to create the Seed Temple in Estancia, New Mexico, where she safe-guards thousands of seed varieties for future generations. Her talk will address the importance of seed saving and preservation of heritage seeds, in particular.
