FIRST SEED SCHOOL FILLED IN CORNVILLE - SECOND ADDED
Seeds Trust Presents Innovative Permaculture Seed Program

	The first Seed School, slated for late September in 
Cornville, Arizona is filled.  As a result of its overwhelming 
success, a second Seed School has been added, from October 30th 
through November 6th.  Seed School will inspire and teach the 
practical, detailed information necessary to help recreate the 
genetic foundation for a truly sustainable agriculture.
	Many gardeners, farmers and growers are still purchasing, 
one-size-fits-all seeds every year. They could and should be saving 
seeds selected for qualities and characteristics that work best for 
them.  Seed School will train gardeners, farmers, seed savers, 
entrepreneurs, non-profits, policy makers and anyone else interested 
in turning the tide on the industrialization of our food and 
agriculture systems. Teaching people to "think seeds first" is the 
basis for any long-term, self sufficient, secure agricultural 
program.  Seeds selected and harvested for disease and pest 
resistant, hardiness, earliness, flavor and other qualities 
strengthen a regions' diversity. As the saying goes, the strength of 
any ecosystem is a function of its diversity. 
	Classroom time in this permaculture inspired program will 
range from an introduction to genetics to modern database management 
(for those wishing to start a seed business or add a seed component 
to an existing organization).  It will be balanced with hands-on 
activities including harvesting, processing, germination testing and 
packaging seeds. Seed School takes place in the beautiful Verde 
Valley in Arizona from October 30th through November 6th.
	The class will be taught by Bill McDorman, President of Seeds 
Trust which he founded in 1989. Bill has over 30 years in the seed 
business and has started three seed companies including Garden City 
Seeds and High Altitude Gardens. He has been teaching seed saving for 
30 years. He is the author of Basic Seed Saving, 1994.
	An application and details are available on-line at 
SeedsTrust.com. For more information, email: belle@seedstrust.com or

Does anyone have suggestions for quality non-prescription reading 
glasses by mail order? 2.50, 2.75, 3.00, 3.50 diopter range needed. I 
have used Cross in the past. Any pointerws would be useful.

Thanks,
Lawrence
