Seedlings is a monthly reading group and workshop for plant-lovers to connect through seeds and the human-plant relationship. Together, we explore how seeds can be powerful metaphors for resistance, resilience, and future possibility. Through games, mapping, and creative prompts, we spark conversations, build action lists around food justice, and design ideas to support more food-growing across the city. It’s part reading group, part conversation game, and part design lab—gently shifting between reflection, connection, and co-creation.

For this March event, we will be coming to Exeter and explore “the people who save seeds” through the work of Rowan White, a seed keeper in the US, who talks about resilience rooted in biodiversity and what’s encoded within us.
