Native Plant Trust – The Seed Keeper (Framingham, MA)

Join author Diane Wilson (Dakota) at the Cambridge Foundry in Kendall Square, Cambridge, for a conversation about her award-winning book, The Seed Keeper. A haunting novel spanning several generations, The Seed Keeper follows a Dakota family’s struggle to preserve their way of life, and their sacrifices to protect what matters most. As Americans of all backgrounds awaken to the importance of storing seeds for future generations, The Seed Keeper unfolds a timeless story of our relationship to seeds. The talk will be followed by a book-signing.
