Mother Nature Center at the Ówîngeh Táh Pueblos y Semillas Gathering & Seed Exchange

Mother Nature Center is honored to participate in the 2026 Ówîngeh Táh Pueblos y Semillas Gathering & Seed Exchange at Santa Clara Pueblo.

This special gathering brings together Pueblo and Acequia farmers, seed keepers, gardeners, and community members to celebrate agricultural heritage, cultural resilience, and the living legacy of our ancestral seeds. Through ceremony, seed sharing, traditional foods, and dialogue, the event helps strengthen the relationships that sustain both our communities and the land.

This year, Mother Nature Center will bring a selection of seeds to share through the seed exchange and will offer free Johnson-Su Compost Inoculant to community members interested in building healthier soils, stronger gardens, and more resilient local food systems.

Our work is rooted in the understanding that healthy soil, healthy seeds, healthy food, and healthy people are all connected. We are grateful for opportunities like this gathering that help preserve seed diversity, support food sovereignty, and encourage the exchange of knowledge between generations.

We invite attendees to stop by, share stories, exchange seeds, and learn more about biological soil restoration practices that can help strengthen gardens, farms, orchards, and native plant communities throughout our region.

Thank you to the New Mexico Food & Seed Sovereignty Alliance, Santa Clara Pueblo, and all of the organizers, farmers, elders, and seed keepers who make this gathering possible.
