The annual Akwesasne seed
and tree giveaway took place on April
25th. Vegetables that were available
included: green beans, yellow wax beans,
sweet corn, carrots, cucumbers, zucchini,
pumpkins, snow peas, and English peas.
All of the seeds are organic and
open-pollinated (no hybrids), so that people
can save seeds from their own gardens for next
year.
Tree seedlings were also
distributed. Available varieties included shag
bark hickory, bitternut hickory, white pine,
white spruce, white cedar, black ash,
butternut, white oak, red oak, and black
walnut.
