Join us for an enlightening conversation with Hillary Miller, a passionate educator and advocate for sustainable agriculture. Raised in St. Petersburg, Florida, Hillary shares her transformative journey into the world of seed saving, offering insights into how it can preserve biodiversity and empower communities by making food more accessible and affordable.

Explore the often-overlooked significance of seeds and their foundational role in our food systems. We discuss the environmental impacts of commercial seed production and how organic gardening and traditional food preservation methods can contribute to a healthier, more resilient food system. With practical advice for beginners, Hillary dispels common misconceptions about seed saving, encouraging small steps and community engagement as the path to food sovereignty.

From seed libraries to growing heat-tolerant plants like Okinawa spinach in Florida's climate, we delve into initiatives that reduce dependence on commercial supply chains. Listen as we emphasize the importance of reclaiming vital life skills through master gardener programs, 4-H youth initiatives, and regional gardening networks, fostering a locally-driven approach to food security and community pride.
