Never having been one to have an excess of disposable income, I’ve always relished finding small gifts that make a big impact. One such morsel of perfection might be a pack of seeds, especially one that comes packaged in a work of art by a local artist, that also supports a valiant mission to preserve heirloom seed varieties, namely the Hudson Valley Seed Library.
It just so happens that one of this year’s Art Packs was hand-stitched (well, the original art was!) by one of your faithful Knots, moi. That’s my Heart Seed pack above! But there are so many beautiful ones, you might even want to collect them all. Several friends of Double Knot have also designed packs for past and current seasons, including Jenny Lee Fowler, Ayumi Horie, and Cindy Hoose. Even apartment-dwellers can grow some herbs and salad greens on a windowsill, and anyone with even the tiniest yard can grow some tomatoes in pots or dedicate a few square feet to some flora. Perhaps you include with your gift a promise to come and help someone start their own little garden next Spring? Or include some seeds in a pot with a trowel and some gloves. However you present them, a gift of seeds is like giving a tiny packet of hope and prosperity!
