OPEN SOURCE GARDENS

"Where openness is sown, freedom is grown!"


ORDERING OPEN SOURCE SEEDS

At the moment you normally order open source seeds directly from their breeders.
To help you find seeds and breeders, there is a service provider called "Open
Source Seeds", which acts as an interface to connect breeders and growers. To
this end Open Source Seeds maintains a list of officially licensed open source
licensed seeds and their respective suppliers. You can browse the catalogue
online and once you have decided on your seed selection, you can order directly
from the respective breeder(s).

The US "Open Source Seeds Initiative" also maintains a list of available open
source seeds and their distributors as well as the Latin-American open source
seeds community "Bioleft". However, due to the European "Plant Health Law
Regulation (EU) 2016/2031" these organisations are not allowed to send these
seeds to Europe.


SPRING CAMPAIGN: "SHARING OUR SOURCES"

In our spring campaign "sharing our sources" we like to help people start
growing Open Source Gardens. We send out "starter kits" with multiple varieties
of Open Source Seeds so you do not need to order them individually from
different breeders (although we encourage you to do so in case you like them).
In any of these starter kits you find a tasty selection of officially licensed
Open Source Seeds together with a leaflet offering tips for an easy start. In
return we kindly ask you to join our community and connect with us 🌻

Participate


ABOUT THE STARTER-KITS

If you particiate you will receive eight seeds each of Open Source Tomatoes
Vivaroma, Vivagrande and Sunviva, Open Source Corn Lisanco and Open Source Chili
Black Heart. Also included is a handmade leaflet with more information about
Open Source Seeds in general and tip for growing. All we like you to do in
return is to actually grow these seeds, enjoy your gardening season and your
harvest - and to please not leave them unattended somewhere in your shelf and
forget about it ...

Of course, you do not need to grow all of them or all by yourself. Open Source
Seeds are free to share with everyone! And it can be even more fun to share them
with your friends and to grow them together or simultaneously.


ABOUT "SHARING OUR SOURCES"

Once you received a starter kit, we kindly ask you to connect with us online:
Tell us about your garden! Take pictures of your plants and share them with us!
Tell us where you successfully grew these plants or why not. Share your tipps
and tricks related to open source gardening, about how to pre-grow them best,
about your automated watering systems, about seed saving, about yummy food ...
Share your ideas and creativity and follow others who do similar. We like to
connect people via Open Source Gardens.


ABOUT CONNECTING ONLINE

We like to create the #IoG, the "Internet of Gardens" and to connect us online.
If you use social media, we love to see you directly sharing your thoughts,
pictures, and experiences you make with our starter kit and your Open Source
Garden. Simply choose your preferred channel for this but make sure to use the
hashtags #Open, #Source, #Garden, and #Seeds so our community can find each
others posts easily.

At Opensourcegardens.info itself we are currently running official accounts on
Mastodon and on Twitter. If you ping these accounts with a mention, we will
share your toots and tweets with the community. Alternatively - and in addition
- you can share your stories and pictures with the community on our mailing list
and/or in our Telegram group. Or simply send them to us via email (PGP Key) so
we can share them with the Internet.


ABOUT CONNECTING GARDENS

We like to create the #IoG, the "Internet of Gardens" and connect us with our
gardens and our gardens with eacht other so we do similar. In a first step you
can put your garden on a custom OpenStreetMap. The idea is to see and show how
many gardens we are and how we grow together. We currently support three types
of gardens: green: public and/or community gardens that anyone is allowed to
visit under certain rules like opening times (but not or money). purple: private
gardens people invite friends to come or people who like to connetd. blue: just
another osg but no one likes to connet.

Our map is based on OpenStreetMap and you can add your garden yourself. We are
planning to write a how to, so long you can use this email-template and we put
it online for you.
