Wed, 10/11/2010 – Michel Fanton
The Schumacher College in Devon UK opened its heart and mind to welcome Seed Savers in November 2010.
We had the pleasure and the privilege to meet Stephan Harding at the helm and to get the feedback and questions from a wide bracket of students. Earlier in London we were led on a brisk walk through Clapham by Satish Kumar who also teaches at Schumacher, and is the Founding Editor of the excellent Resurgence magazine.
We have been invited to work with the students when we return to Europe in Spring 2011.

Worth googling Satish if you are curious.
