*This video could've gone on for 2 hours and I would not have been bored❗ ️....... Amazing information and will certainly revisit the video just to keep myself refreshed! 🍃🌱🌿*
Pete, not sure how I missed this video! She is great, super watchable with her knowledge. Loves the moment where she gathers seeds from a flower, tosses them to the wind, then giggles. Such passion!
Pete, I loved this video. Real interesting. I live about 25 miles west of Gainesville in Gilchrist County. Never heard of this garden but love what they're doing. I try to save seed myself in my garden. Thanks for showing this.
Watched this once this morning and will have to come back again with notepad and paper. I could probably watch this every six months and learn something I missed the first time. Melissa, you are my kind of person! I saved a LOT of seeds this week. Thank you Pete for taking the time to interview her! I feel a road trip coming on!!
Epic work Melissa! Thank you and thanks to Pete for spreading the word of the vital tasks of saving and sharing seeds while helping disabled folks. So inspiring!
Oh I just adore this video - I'm a big seed saver too and it's wonderful to see the process explained. Well done to everyone in this wonderful garden - bravo ! It's also excellent to hear a professional biologist talk about the genetics aspect of this too.
missed you last time you were in gainesville teaching. i had a really good excuse not to be there. love your books, they have been great resources for me.
I just returned from the PNW for the first time and yeah.....very different! Principles and practices of seed saving hold strong but nuances of your climate are so very unique.
Another great video upload Pete! I love how you travel from place to place and take us along with you as you look at what gardeners in different areas are growing and their grow techniques! Wishing you continued success and safety on the road during your travels my friend, blessings upon you!
Aloha, Melissa, ur incredible! Pete, thanks for taking us on another adventure & journey as we learn more awesome lessons! Aloha nui & Mahalo nui loa to you guys for your service to humanity!
Pete your Videos continue to inspire and educate. I cannot begin to list how much I have learned from your channel plants that I never even knew existed growing tips for days. You're work is amazing. Sending love and growing blessings from our little urban homestead in South Africa. - Living Lighter with Dean & Kerry
Amazing job!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have a 6 year old son with ASD and I hope I can do the same here in my country. You're truly an inspiration!
Wow! What an amazing video! It answers so many questions I had about saving seeds and connected me to the community of seed "stewards". Melissa is amazing and so generous with the wealth of her knowledge! I work at United Ability here in Birmingham AL and we provide services to more than 5,000 children and adults with disabilities every year. I would love to see a follow up video on the employment and self-sufficiency training aspect of their program.
Im also hosting a perennial / seed potluck tomorrow! Where people from the community come to my place, we swap seeds / plants and chat about gardening. Super excited!
Another awesome video Pete!!! I will definitely be buying seeds from her, what an amazing person and so passionate about saving seeds, have a wonderful weekend with your family!!
Great Job Melissa! It is so good to see someone that is so excited about saving seeds and helping people understand how important it really is!! Thank You Pete for doing a video on this excellent and important work!!
Wow...I’m so impressed and thankful . I have mental disabilities which makes it hard to focus. Gardening is my best therapy. I absolutely think u r saving lifes and providing quality for their lives. More people need to recognize if you don’t have mental health, you don’t have any health. I was so close to buying 5 acres close to Gainesville and I wish I would’ve but I’m 59 and don’t know if I have time for my soil to get healthy from all the sand. I listen to Pete!!! Blessings. I will b supporting the seed saving business.
This work is so important. I’m grateful to people who care and are able to do it. I do have a very amateur and experimental veggie patch in my urban garden, and it’s fun! Very encouraging to watch such a video, thanks. London
You are an inspiration. I live outside of New Port Richey about 5 or more miles from the Gulf. I am 79 years old and grow about everything I can get my hands on but have no access to a lot of the things you grow. please keep up the effort.
Andrew Micklos that’s awesome! I grew up in new Port Richey by green key on a small bayou. My neighbor was a homesteader and grew pecans, bees and a huge garden. I love connecting with the elders in the community that have been growing longer than me. Keep on growing my friend 🙏
@@md6343 I have spent over $150 this spring preparing for the fall garden. I have about every kind of seed one could ask for. I garden on a one acre lot in Oakridge but am limited in the amount of space I can grow in. I used to have a much bigger garden but my wife commandeered half my space for a flower plot. I supported her because I too love flowers and grow large numbers of them
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL I have lived here for about 20 years. Moved here from Clearwater where I had a big back yard half full of garden. I can't tell you how many friends I inspired to take up the hobby.
What a very fun video, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Small scale tip- to keep vermin out of seedlings- a large dog crate will hold 3 standard seed trays exactly and when you cover with bird netting nothing can get in. Use zip ties to attach bird netting and cut around the openings for easy access. It’s working for me.
We built some enormous cages over our greenhouse tables to protect 3,600 little corn seedlings recently. Plus set a lot of rat traps out. Never ends! Critters love eating seeds! Thanks for the tip for smaller scale stuff, we have a lot of gardeners we connect with and this is a great idea!
What a great video! Thank you so much , I am mounting a sustainable village project in Uganda and a seed program is one of the key elements to my goal, sustainable, and our products will be sustainability products, such as seeds that are apt for Uganda ( I live in costa Rica and Uganda is quite similiar) which has 300 inches of rain a year and is tropical or semitropical, so I think the species will be the kinds of things I know how to grow. I am an organic farmer and medicine maker and run a nonprofit school for sustainable living. I am planning to make a documentary on the process of sustainability in africa specifically and start another campus there. This video really helps me define my project! Our biggest project is a malaria prevention initiative, but the seeds are critical!
the more i get interested in seeds and meet other seed heads, the more i view them as connected in ways beyond that what we can even imagine. their long history with humans has all of our dna and stories entangled.
She is our Vandana Shiva! So very grateful for the work Melissa is doing! And unfortunately, we need as many people as we can to save seeds to offset the detrimental effects of Monsanto! I want to come and visit this seed saving gem!
This was amazing! Thanks for doing this video! So nice to see something this wonderful happening in Florida. Cant wait to learn more about this program
Love it...the work with disabled...mirrors what Desert Survivors Native Plant Nursery down South in Tucson does, where I am an annual member. Love mixing in pollinators & Gerkin cucumbers. Ethiopian Kale is interesting...will have to google that. The seed look similar to my Egyptian Spinach variety--really easy to collect seeds from & very easy to propagate. This is one serious, focused lady...
Melissa is doing some amazing work Jeff! I love that Egyptian spinach, it’s a summertime favorite here. Im also gonna trial the Ethiopian kale again this year.
Very cool! I just looked it up and will connect with Desert Survivors! Plants and animals are great ways to involve the "disabled", who have plenty of ability! Egyptian Spinach in my head as a common name is also called Molokhiya- Corchorus olitorius- is that what you are talking about?
Melissa...they have had great success hiring both developmentally & emotionally disabled over the yrs...This nursery is about an hr & 25 minute trek for me from Tempe...but the best native nursery I believe in the State. I joined not only because my eclectic gardening style has always appreciated the role "natives" play in our ecology (and I have always wanted to highlight some of the ones that nurseries here in Phx should promote as well) but because I liked the regular work that they do in hiring these individuals (you should get their newsletter). Many yrs I may not cover the basic annual $50 membership fee (only accords a 10% discount) but it is state tax deductible and a great cause, so I maintain it ! GM Jim Verrier is phenomenal...his last book is very thorough and well assembled. You might hit it off with him--he is getting very busy and harder to reach--but very entusiastic; passionate. Love the guy ! So there is a LOT you may have in common in many regards. And I love this video--great work !! :)
Pete...you already know what I think of your video's...you have become one of the best presenters in the industry on youtube. And you do it with genuine & sincere interest & humility. Nothing phony about you, guy. I learn so much here. And just readily enjoy them. Thank You.
Melissa...sorry for not answering your question. I would need to look it up--but I know you have the Genus part at least the same as what I grow, so likely yes. I have also heard it called Jews Mallow. After obtaining the plant about 4 yrs ago, I have grown it from seed since. Very easy to grow here in Phx at least (starting in ~ April).
This is so amazing! Melissa reminds me of Dr. Vandana Shiva who has been saving seeds in India. The problem I've mostly faced is seeds flying across my backyard and setting roots before I can grab them all, mainly cherry tomatoes, basil and garlic chives but also papaya trees. I am now inspired and would like to try and grow a small patch only for saving seeds. Took lots of notes from this video so thanks!
This is something else , I don't think I have ever seen a video on seed storage and growing for storage as good as this one. Nice job Thanks for your broadcast!
Pete, yet another interesting video - you keep finding these amazing people. Such important work Melissa and team is doing. Thanks for being so generous in your information as to HOW you do this work Melissa-inspiring.
Fantastic. I save seeds every year. It also helps plants with soil memory. I have had surgeries so not worked for over a year. I have passed off 1500 flower seedlings of 32 varieties plus 1200 veg 24 varieties. Grew way too many lol. Have 2400m sq growing space, so went a little overboard. Neighbours loved it. All those freebies
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL Cheers. That would be nice, but no recovery this time. Messed surgery led to other things, then overdosed with radiation as didn't count scans and x-rays. On a good note, it's giving me enough money to set up a company for the family that will give money after.
@@md6343 Yellow star Tulip, poppy red Iceland mix and dwarf, Clarkia double, Stock 10 week and night scented, Impatiens, Larkspur giant, Candy tuft fairy mix, Marguerite white daisy, Foxglove, Aquilegia double, Gypsophila, Agastache Mexicana, Delphinium imperial, Lupins and lots more. All standard tomato 14 varieties, white yellow and red onion, 6 varieties of carrot, 5 varieties of lettuce, 3 cucumber and more lol all good fun. Never take money, I do it for myself and as rarely had seed loss issues so end up with spare. Lots of people grow good once plants are established. Yet struggle starting off seed. So I grow and give them plants.
@@md6343 Your Portuguese surname is not common. Here in Toronto we have Anthony DeSa the author. A relative? (I'm assuming it's not your married name.) He's blond and blue-eyed too.
WOW! That was an awesome video. I too am a seed saver, but only a novice. Thanks Pete for the great info! I look forward to buying some of their seeds soon!
Melissa is amazing. I am planning a trip to Gainesville very soon to visit you and buy some seeds. Terrific operation. Outstanding work. I live and garden east of Tallahassee on Aucilla River fine sand. Many of the plants you are growing may grow well for me. I have been looking for a north Florida source for varied cowpeas. Keep up the excellent work. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for coming up my way in GNV!!! Usually when I see "North Florida it is not my area, I knew about Morningside, but I dodnt know about GrowHub. I have just started seed banking in my little yard, so I am definitely going to visit Growhub and also the seed bank library in Micanopy. So exciting!!!
Kimber Barkdoll that’s awesome! I did a live video after at my buddy Joes farm store in micanopy after shooting here. I’m on Instagram more than RUclips if your not following. Enjoy grow hub, Melissa is amazing!
You guys are awesome and these wonderful people are doing amazing work for the future generations it's like they are custodians of nature and also making us healthier as people not hiding information spreading it willingly for the evolution and happiness of life. Keep these awesome documentaries coming and one day once you've given me lots of good ideas you can come visit my research facility👍🌱🍂🐝🐞🕸🐜🍄🏞
Wow, what a powerful person Melissa is. Passionate, straight-talking, clear and smart. Great work.
We need more of this in the world instead of violent reaction and greed. I choose Love

Hear that Pete, let's release the full uncut video!
music2306lover I can never tell what’s “too long” time wise. Melissa was too good to cut up, we used 95% of the footage.
I agree, I am in love with this cause! Awesome! 🌻 🌎 🕊
Honestly, after 50 years in florida..Florida... I truly miss people like Melissa, a rare breed and hard to find!
The 28 people that gave this a thumbs down needs to get kicked in the seeds! Top 10 video on this channel. Keep Going, Keep Growing!
That was an awesome video, it was a ton of information to take in I'm going to have watch this video 100 times just to absorb it all 👍👍👍👍👍
On repeat! Thanks for watching

Thanks for coming up my way in GNV!!! Usually when I see "North Florida it is not my area, I knew about Morningside, but I dodnt know about GrowHub. I have just started seed banking in my little yard, so I am definitely going to visit Growhub and also the seed bank library in Micanopy. So exciting!!!
Kimber Barkdoll that’s awesome! I did a live video after at my buddy Joes farm store in micanopy after shooting here. I’m on Instagram more than RUclips if your not following. Enjoy grow hub, Melissa is amazing!
Our property at Grow Hub is right next door to Morningside! We are lucky to be surrounded by woods and wetlands!
Wow! Super interesting 😯
Loving this video, I'm learning so much!
