My old friend Mark van der Weijden started a wonderful project called “Sunshine in an Envelope”. Basically you can request him to send you some sunflower seeds from his own sunflower. By planting these seeds her DNA is spread out around the world. A lovely and positive initiative.
For more info please visit his
website.
Of course I planted several seeds myself in 2008. None of the seedlings survived my bad gardening skills. This year I tried again and at this moment one of the 20 seeds is turning in to a strong sunflower. I keep you updated!
