Seed: The Untold Story – Film Screening & Seed Library Launch

📅 Date: Thursday, February 8th, 2025

🕒 Time: 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM

📍 Location: The Salisbury Centre

Join us for a screening of the acclaimed documentary , an inspiring exploration of the global movement to protect seeds as a cornerstone of sustainability and resilience. The film highlights the crucial role of growing climate-resilient, locally-adapted seeds as a powerful way for communities to reverse global trends in industrial agriculture, reclaim food sovereignty, and combat climate change. By preserving seed diversity and nurturing local adaptations, we can rebuild ecosystems, strengthen food security, and create a hopeful future for the planet.

This event also marks the launch of a new Seed Library at Gracemount Community Garden and a revitalization of our very own Salisbury Centre Seed Library that was started in 2021. This initiative is part of a collaborative effort between the Salisbury Centre and Gracemount Community Garden, made possible with the generous support of ECCAN Greenlight Funding.

Following the screening, participate in an interactive discussion with hands-on activities, including:

• Exploring seed anatomy and diversity through a simple, engaging demonstration.
• Handling and learning about different seeds—connect with their unique stories and significance.
• Enjoying seed-inspired snacks while networking with others passionate about sustainability and community resilience.

This is more than just a film screening; it’s a call to action. Be part of a grassroots movement to build community resilience and a local response to the climate crisis. Learn how seed libraries and collective efforts can empower communities to grow a more sustainable, climate-adapted future.

Participation in our community-led events is often on a voluntary ‘by donation’ basis. This means that nobody is expected to make a payment if they cannot afford to do so. However, any donations received will be shared between the Centre and the facilitator, helping to make the events’ programme sustainable as well as to provide some reciprocity towards community facilitators’ time and skills offered.

Where a “suggested donation” is listed, this is just an indication of what the event might cost if it was ticketed – it is fine to donate less (or nothing at all). Donating is one way to show your appreciation for the value of the Salisbury Centre. Please consider ‘paying it forward’ by donating a bit extra if you can afford, helping to keep it possible for everyone to take part, regardless of their circumstances.

If you would not like to pay for a donation on Eventbrite. You may also do so in the follwoing ways:

• Bring cash on the evening, or
• Donate online on www.salisburycentre.org/donate (using “SEED” as REFERENCE).
• Pay with card at the front door, please add a reference (eg. SEED) using the pen icon top right on the pay-point screen
