When Rasa lived in Japan she joined Seed Savers Network as a foundation member in 1999. When she returned to Australia she landed not far from Byron Bay and created her Local Seed Network. Byron Hinterland Seed Savers. Rasa supported many seed savers shows extravaganzas, seed balls and other gigs SeedSavers run here in Byron Bay Seed Gardens. Besides a wonderful Japanese inspired home, Rasa created a food forest and a myriad suite of individual food gardens. Like a Rapsodie in Food Plant. Rasa manages to finds time to grow yet more seeds and plants for others that she make available as a road stall near Federal via Byron Bay. Thank you Rasa for the wholesome food and seed gig you run.
