Transition Horsham gives away seeds to gardeners following its "Seedy Saturday" event in February 2010. Much of the oil and gas we use worldwide goes into producing, packaging and distributing food. Commercial food production is also driving much of the destruction of the Amazon rain forest. Transition Horsham aims to encourage and help people to grow some of their own food. Collecting and swapping local seeds is an important way in which growers can help each other. It is also promotes plant diversity, retaining favourite old local and heritage varieties.
