We have twinned with the Palestine Local Seed Bank which is preserving the heritage of Palestinian seed and supporting farmers in the West Bank with seed. We come together in solidarity for their right to save seed and grow food.

We have regular communication online with our friends at the Palestine Local Seed Bank to develop ways of working together. As the situation in West Bank deteriorates, we are deeply concerned for their safety and the continuation of their vital work.

In Exeter, we have held workshops with our local multi-generational Palestinian community and friends. We’ve come together to make clay pots, talk, tell stories, and share food. Some people call this way of working ‘craftivism’.

Clay Pots

The pots we have made in the workshops come with herb seeds which are popular in Palestine. They are available for a suggested donation of £3.

All proceeds will go to the Palestine Local Seed Bank.

You can also make a pot for someone in the future to replace the one you take.

This project has been made possible through support of the Landworkers’ Alliance.

An ongoing participatory community project and pop-up exhibition animating the importance of plants in people’s lives and the connections we have to them in the 21st century.
