Part 2: Decentralizing Seed Banks and Nurseries
🌾 Why Decentralize Seed Banks?
Right now, government, county, and state-level seed banks exist to preserve native plant species in case of natural disasters like fire or flood.
But what if you — whether you're in the inner city, outer neighborhoods, or suburbs — could hold that same power?
At WolfKey, we believe in bringing the seed bank back into the hands of the people.
We’ll show you how to:
Build your own homegrown seed inventory
Harvest with the natural cycles of Mojave native plants
Relearn what it means to steward the Land — a role that’s existed since time immemorial
🌱 Now… Decentralize Nurseries?
Yes. You read that right.
We aren’t just decentralizing seed banks — we’re reimagining nurseries too.
Sure, we have our own native seed and plant stock at WolfKey…
But here’s the truth: the Mojave Desert itself is a seed bank and nursery.
Why should access to native plants be limited to overpriced retail centers?
Why should you pay $10 or more for something the Land offers freely?
We believe in teaching people how to cultivate with the desert, not against it — and we believe your backyard, balcony, or community lot can become a micro-nursery.
✨ A One-Time Investment, A Lifetime of Blooms
For just $10, you’re not only reserving your seat at this visionary workshop —
you’re investing in a lifelong relationship with the land, the plants, and your community.
To us, seeds are the gold the conquistadors were really searching for when they first landed here — they just didn’t realize it.
Let’s share our gold.
Let’s sow something for the generations to come.

IDEA Virtual Intro Session
The IDEA Program: Intentional Distribution for Engaged Agriculture
What is the IDEA Program?
IDEA is a community-powered seed-sharing and garden empowerment program. Rooted in resilience, access, and ecological healing, this initiative aims to decentralize seed banking and help our neighbors become stewards of the land — one garden at a time.
Why Decentralize Seed Banks?
Centralized systems can be fragile. By empowering individuals to grow, save, and share seeds locally, we build a more resilient network of native and culturally significant plants.
At WolfKey, we see seeds as both valuable and priceless:
Valuable because they restore ecosystems after wildfires or drought.
Priceless because they are sacred gifts from the Earth — tiny lifeforms that carry ancestral memory and power.
