SUMMARY:Seed Library Launch Party featuring Jennifer Jewell and Kier Holmes
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the re-launch of the Mill Valley Library's Seed 
 Library with this special event featuring a conversation with Jennifer 
 Jewell\, host of the gardening podcast Cultivating Place and author of the 
 new book What We Sow: On the Personal\, Ecological\, and Cultural 
 Significance of Seeds. In conversation with Kier Holmes\, local author of 
 The Garden Refresh. Learn about cultivating seeds\, create some homemade 
 lettuce tape\, and go home with something new to plant courtesy of the Seed 
 Library!\n\nIn What We Sow\, Jewell brings readers on a journey exploring 
 the impact of the simple seed\, from where "organic" seeds are grown and 
 sourced\, to giant multinational agribusiness that have refined and 
 patented the genomes of seeds we rely on for staples like corn and soy\, 
 and the efforts of activists working to regain legal access to heirloom 
 seeds that were stolen from Indigenous peoples and people of color. 
 Throughout\, readers are invited to share Jewell's personal observations as 
 she marvels at the glory of nature in her Northern California hometown. 
 \n\nJennifer Jewell was honored as a 2023 "Great American Gardener" by the 
 American Horticultural Society\, and she has served on the board of the 
 Pacific Horticulture Society and is a member of the California Native Plant 
 Society\, American Horticultural Society\, and Garden Communicators 
 International. Her podcast Cultivating Place won the 2017 Gold Award for 
 Best Overall Broadcast Media\, and Best On-Air Talent from the Garden 
 Writers of America (now GardenComm)\, and the 2018 Best On-Air 
 Talent.\n\nSausalito Books by the Bay will be the bookseller for this 
 event.
