Seeds and Squash Equinox Festival

About the Facilitators

Field Meridians is an artist collective committed to creating tools for ecological resilience through social practice. Our work invests in facilitating space for people to connect with one another and to our neighborhood by nurturing our relationships with nature. With site-specific programming, publishing, and radio broadcast, Field Meridians engages our community to lay the foundations for food sovereignty and infrastructures of repair. 

Objective

Celebrate the turning of the season and the arrival of fall with Field Meridians. Return seeds to our community-powered seed library, decorate seed packets, and participate in equinox workshops around seed saving at the Brooklyn Public Library, Brower Park branch.

Seed saving and distribution is critical part of our mission to foster food sovereignty in Crown Heights. Not only does it preserve biodiversity against the pressures of commercial agriculture, but it cultivates generations of plants that are adapted to our hyperlocal conditions.
