Seeds and Plantcestry

Where land is at stake, plants are our teachers…

Learn about the role of seeds in resistance and struggle, in different times and places. Join a practical seed saving workshop and a guided discussion of food, ecology and belonging.

This workshop is part of A Land Moot, a three day festival of land resistance, organised by Scottish Histories of Resistance and friends, and hosted by Galgael.

Come together to unearth all the ways that land injustice is connected to our ongoing crises in housing, climate emergency, cost of living, isolation and reparations.

Learn tactics and organise for the present, through radical storytelling, music and dancing, land skills and folk rituals.

View the full programme and book tickets for the full weekend.

The image above is based on an engraving of Govan and the River Clyde by Robert Paul in 1757. The flat-topped Moot Hill is believed to have been created in the early Middle Ages as a court or law hill where justice was dispensed.

The title of this workshop is inspired and informed by herbalist Layla K. Feghali’s book The Land in Our Bones, which explores the land-based medicines of Lebanon and Cana'an.
