We make intricate designs with twine between sapling posts. Later, these weavings support tomato vines. Bright colored ribbons flutter from the tops of tall bean poles. Raised vegetable beds are sculpted into various graceful shapes. The winding paths are edged in pieces of broken pottery and stones we've found. We build altars in the centers of our gardens, and hold rituals between the onions and the lettuce.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"I asked wimmin to send me drawings and photos and descriptions of their magical female-oriented gardens. The replies came from near and far, and make up a part of this book. The rest of the book contains poems and prose that came directly from my experiences as a gardener and a lesbian.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reissue reimagines the black and white stapled original in a bounty of earth tones: different colored French Papers are risograph printed in green, brown, and orange ink. The book is handsewn with gradient thread. Also included is a recent interview with Jenna Weston printed as an 11x17 leaflet, reversed with a poster of one of the garden diagrams in the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Saving Seeds: Metaphors of Lesbian Growth\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/strong\u003eA Lesbian Country Magazine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthors\u003c\/strong\u003e: Jennifer Weston and Other Gardeners\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSoftcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"* New or Sealed *","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56553149399420,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2244\/5351\/files\/1_dccd2062-02e6-431e-a4d8-fa0a58986fbd.png?v=1774716217","url":"https:\/\/bookshop.thephotographersgallery.org.uk\/products\/saving-seeds-metaphors-of-lesbian-growth","provider":"TPG Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
