Jennifer Jewell is obsessed with seeds. Fortunately, so am I. So it was a delight to interview her in On The Ledge episode 293 about our mutual passion. I found out more about why seeds are vital to our lives and the seed banks trying to preserve them for the future. If you haven't got going with the sowalong, this might get you in gear. Find out more about the #OTLsowalong.
