But finding open-pollinated seeds that have been in a family for more than 50 years is becoming an increasingly rare occurrence. Also rapidly disappearing are the stories that go with them. Now, both will have a new home thanks to Saving Appalachian Gardens and Stories (SAGAS), a project of the Georgia Appalachian Studies Center at North Georgia.
