As many of you know, this has been a transformative year for our organization. In the winter of 2016, our Board

of Directors along with staff and community partners came together to redefine SEEDS’ purpose and refine our

mission. From these inspiring and extended discussions emerged a new vision for the future.

Throughout our 23-year history, a deep respect for life, the earth, and one other has remained at the heart of

SEEDS. Now, as we look forward, we’re focused on further fostering that respect while growing the potential of

youth in Durham.

At our core, we are striving to develop the capacity of young people to respect life, the earth, and each other

through growing, cooking, and sharing food.

Through our programming, students get hands-on experience growing and cooking their own food, while

developing leadership skills and becoming stewards of the environment. Beginning in elementary school,

our SEEDlings After-School Enrichment program will immerse children in the wonders of the garden and the

tastes of the kitchen throughout the week. As these young leaders grow and transition to middle school, they

will apprentice with and directly learn from our chef and garden educators. In high school, these innovative

students will be poised to take on leadership roles in our community, helping to plan and conduct lessons in the

garden and kitchen, and participating in facilitated discussions on social justice, food justice, and grassroots

community development.

We believe in the power and ability of our youth to grow — mentally, educationally, and socially — into

transformational leaders of tomorrow. And every day, we see first-hand that our beautiful, two-acre oasis in the

heart of Durham is an ideal space to nurture this transformation.

I have had the indescribable pleasure of joining the SEEDS

team during this transition phase. Drawing on my background

in Public Health, my experience running the operations of a

grassroots nonprofit, and my time as a teacher for exceptional

children, I have been working diligently with the SEEDS team to

grow our new curriculum for developing innovative community

leaders with a strong connection to life, the earth, and each

other. The excitement is palpable, and the forward momentum

is strong. I’m thrilled and honored to be at the helm.

We welcome you to stop into SEEDS, wander through our

garden, sharpen your gardening skills, and see the power

of our programs. Be on the lookout for community events,

Saturday workshops and volunteer days, and inspiring

changes coming from our ever-powerful youth.

Humbly and with dedication,

Jeff Howell,

Executive Director

3 SEEDS Annual Report | 2016 – 2017

“I saw so many

people, especially kids,

disconnected from

nature and the food we

eat. I knew gardens could

be much more than just

places of beauty; they

could transform personal

lives and communities.

I wanted to change

the public perception

of eating and growing

food.”

- Brenda Brodie,

SEEDS Co-founder

“Thank you, thank you

for the awesome week at

summer camp! Eliza had

a blast and says it's her

favorite camp ever! She was

super excited to prepare

her squash from the garden

for us for dinner tonight,

and insisted that her dad

help her plant some of the

seeds so that she can grow

more. I love seeing her so

passionate!”

- Kat Barbosa,

Eliza’s mom

“We had a great time

volunteering! Please

thank [Garden Assistant]

Liza for being such a

great host, joining us

for great conversation

over lunch, and patiently

describing what were

weeds vs. what were

seeds in the garden.

We enjoyed ourselves...

and we learned a lot!”

Volunteer

WHAT PLANTS CAN YOU IDENTIFY?

WHAT MAKES YOU A GREAT LEADER?

WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUTYOUR TEACHERS AT SEEDS?

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?

WHAT PLANTS CAN YOU IDENTIFY? Strawberry, bell peppers, apple tree, corn, squash, kale,

lettuce and tomatoes.

WHAT MAKES YOU A GREAT LEADER?The other kids listen to me because I listen to them. When

you boss people around they stop listening. Playing with

them is how you get to know them. When you need help,

you say, ‘Hey guys, can you please help me with this?’ And if

they say no, don’t get mad.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUTYOUR TEACHERS AT SEEDS?The teachers don’t yell or boss you here. I have talked to the

teachers when I was mad or sad. Teachers here have helped

me learn things like yoga, sewing, gardening and cooking.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?A firefighter or a farmer, maybe both. I would like to help

grow food for homeless people and make the community

better. The community would be better if you know lots of

stuff about growing food so you can help people without food.

Adrian Platt is 10 years old and about to enter the 5th grade.

He and his brother Joshua live near SEEDS and have participated

in our after-school and summer camp programs.

Adrian became interested in gardening from a young age,

when he gardened with his beloved grandma. From the

beginning of his time at SEEDS, it was clear to his teachers

that he was a natural in the garden, as well as a kind,

unassuming leader to those around him. With his quiet and

loving demeanor, he encourages his friends at SEEDS to find

the simple joys in working outside: turning soil, working

safely with tools, sowing seeds, and watching plants grow.

We sat down with Adrian and asked him about his garden

knowledge, leadership skills, and his time at SEEDS.

ADRIAN’S FAVORITESGARDEN PLACES:The Grape Arbor, the

Greenhouse, and the

Chicken Castle.

GARDEN FOOD TO EAT:Dino Kale!

GARDEN ACTIVITIES:Using tools and teaching

others how to use tools

properly. Making friends at

SEEDS’ like Adonis, Marializ

and Heidy. Playing and

running in the garden and

visiting the chickens in the

Chicken Castle.

MEMORY OF SEEDS:The first time I picked up a

chicken (also when I met

my after-school friends).

OUR GARDEN COMMUNITYOUR GARDEN COMMUNITYOur two-acre garden is growing strong, thanks to

the many hands that have tended to it this past

year. Through the seasons, the garden is a constant

lesson, both when things bloom and when things

fail. SEEDS students work in the garden and learn all

about how plants grow, and our volunteers play an

instrumental role in maintaining our beautiful space.

In the interim months before hiring our new garden

manager, the work of our three garden assistants

was invaluable. Lisa Bruckner, who had previously

interned at SEEDS, returned for the summer to

help coordinate and prioritize garden projects.

Dr. Glenda Clare guided volunteer groups on

Wednesdays and Thursdays, and Liza Engstrom led

our Friday and Saturday groups. On any given day,

there are as many as 50 volunteers of all ages in the

garden, and our assistants have always had a task

(and perhaps even a song) for them!

As a Counselor Educator and clinical supervisor with

three clinical licenses, Dr. Glenda Clare is particularly

interested in how garden knowledge and skills can

be used in a therapeutic setting, and when not at

SEEDS, Liza consults with an employee wellness

company in Raleigh, and operates her own laughter

yoga company, Health and Happiness Align (HAHA).

We are grateful for the talent, skills and enthusiasm

they bring with them to the garden each day.

And, of course, none of it would be possible without

our volunteers. Dedicated, individual volunteers

come to SEEDS week after week to lend their sweat

and smiles, and big volunteer groups help us get

big projects done in no time. This year, we want

to thank groups from Bronto/Oracle, Burt’s Bees,

YouthWorks, NCCU, Cisco and Salesforce for their

continued contributions to helping SEEDS grow.

KEITH BRODIEKEITH BRODIE

Durham and the SEEDS community lost a visionary this past

year. Psychiatrist, educator and former president of Duke

University, Keith Brodie passed away in December 2016. Dr.

Brodie’s wife of 49 years, Brenda Brodie, co-founded SEEDS in

1994, and together, Keith and Brenda’s passion for community

service, care for the earth, and boundless compassion have

helped Durham, Duke and SEEDS grow. We are grateful for his

life’s work, leadership, contribution to our community, and his

enduring legacy of empathy for all.
