Why Bother with Seed Libraries?

What are seed libraries? Why are they important? What's the difference between planting heirloom vartieties and growing tomatoes from seedlings I buy at Lowe's? Learn from instructional material, histories, and personal stories about how seeds connect us throughout generations, how humans' connection to plants has changed over time, and what the future of food might be.
