NPDC offered funding for the North Taranaki region and we distributed loads of money, seeds and help with fruit plants and trees coming shortly. To continue to action, why not become a seed saving champion? Jayne from Seedsavers can help you get started & you can use the excess at school/kindergarten as fundraisers.
