These are 1500 #seeds of #Open #Source #Chili "Black Heart" <3

We will split them in smaller quantities and send them out together with other Open Source Seeds. Each of these seeds can grow another thousands of seeds that you are free to share with everyone else.

Hello world! This is the social account of Open Source Gardens - where openness is sown and freedom is reaped.

We would like to create "#OpenSource #Gardens" and thus spread Open Source (philosophy/software) in a horticultural and creative way.

To do so, we are planning to plant #OpenSourceSeeds in various #community #gardens in #Berlin.

Join in and spread the word!

Frühling ist, was wir daraus machen:

"Am Samstag, den 27. Februar haben wir gemeinsam den Planacker (die Grünfläche direkt an der Kottbusser Brücke) gemeinsam von Müll befreit, die vertrockneten Pflanzen zurückgeschnitten und neue Sonnenblumen eingesät." <3

On "I love #FreeSoftware Day" we like to send our love to @wakest for hosting our #Mastodon instance and the whole community behind Mastodon to offer us such a lovely, peaceful and inspiring opportunity to connect with the world and all #Open #Source #Gardeners* out there!

Sowing Open - Growing Freedom <3

Dear Fediverse! A friendly designer created a very lovely leaflet for us to be used in our spring campaign #ConnectingGardens (attached).

Unfortunately, the design is in a private format... can anyone here please help us in creating a similar leaflet (we give you the sources) in Inkscape, Scribus or other open formats? Please DM

Besides our digital hugs and presumably good karma, you will also receive your very personal starter kit from us - full of #Open #Source #Seeds and <3

In our spring campaign #ConnectingGardens ,we like to help you start growing #Open #Source #Gardens and connect you via and beyond these gardens.

We are currently decentralising the #seeds and soon you will be able to order your personal starter kit here: https://opensourcegardens.info/order-seeds.en.html

Great video by Dr. Vandana Shiva, 'Alternative Noble Prize' winner, who explains in 87 seconds concisely how #Open #Source #Software and Open Source #Seeds are the same: "they are a way of spreading prosperity and knowledge in society rather than creating scarcitiy and povertiy."

"#Open #source #seeds pledging is a powerful tool of resistance against corporations’ shoring up of plant genetic resources. Aiming to preserve the rights of farmers, gardeners, and breeders to freely use, save, replant, and improve seed.”

“#Home #gardeners are often the leaders and the conscience of the #food #movement,” says Dr. Claire Luby, Director of the #Open #Source #Seeds Initiative, “It wasn’t mega-farmers who led the way with organic varieties, it was the home gardeners who wanted them."

For home gardeners seeking liberation from big companies: Every #OSSI-pledged seed purchase reinforces the idea of seed-saving as an inherent right.

Open Source offers freedom without limitations but due to the #Brexit, UK resellers of #Open #Source #Seeds - like "Real Seeds" and "Vital Seeds" - cannot anymore deliver to Europe since they need a "phytosanitary certificate" from now on.

Does anyone know of a European reseller of #OSSI licensed Freed Seed that is listed on https://osseeds.org/seeds/ ?

Ever wondered how a seed cleaning machine works and where to get one? You can DIY one yourself with the #OpenSource #Seed #Cleaning #Machine Design by The Real Seed Collection: https://www.realseeds.co.uk/seedcleaner.html

But Open Soure not only empowers people, it also creates resilient communities. Don't miss to check out the nice acknowledgements & reproductions around the world towards the bottom of the page <3

"Das Ackersyndikat ist ein dezentraler Solidarverbund von selbstorganisierten Höfen. Es sorgt dafür, dass landwirtschaftliche Flächen immer den Menschen gehören, die sie ökologisch verantwortlich bewirtschaften und nutzen. Das Land ist dabei nicht Privateigentum, sondern unverkäuflicher Gemeinschaftsbesitz."
