For the 2015 growing season, Seeds InService is growing papermaking and dye plants from the New World in four regionally/tribally specific gardens. Each garden includes corn, sunflower, bean, squash, and various dye plants. North, Central, and South America are represented, honoring the indigenous people of the regions while giving voice to their political, social, economic, and environmental issues.
