Audiology Associates at 1428 Northlake Drive in Prestonsburg. The 11th annual Appalachian Seed Swap was held at Pike Central High School on Saturday, April 1st. Our aim is to have seeds that are easily saved, so they're heirloom seeds, or seeds that have been passed down in families. When Neil and I first conceived this idea, that was right after the floods of Harleys Creek, and we almost lost the Harleys Creek Cushaw. So the Cushaw is kind of the symbol of our seed swap every year. We start just like you would do a ribbon cutting, we cut the Cushaw. Local and out-of-state growers attended the seed swap with a common goal, preserving the tradition of various heirloom plants and seeds. Vendors sold everything from seeds, saplings, and plants to homemade items like birdhouses, jellies, and baked goods. With events like this one, it has made a great comeback, an absolute great comeback. And we want to tie in not just the seeds part of it, but the preserving, the cooking, all the things from planting it to composting. We want to make sure that we offer the knowledge to do whatever you need to do if you've not done it before. Heirloom seeds are an important part of the region's history. And after the flooding of July 2022, it's more important than ever to make sure seeds with a legacy that spans generations continue to live on. For Mountain Top News, I'm Kelsey Dean.
