Utah Seed Exchange, an open community group located in Utah Valley, provides members a place to learn how to grow and protect heirloom seeds for free.
Allaire Younica helped found the group in February with the goal to preserve heirloom plants and varieties. Heirloom plants come from seeds that have not been cross-pollinated, they reproduce plants identical to the parent plant and will do so indefinitely if protected.
Derek Haynie, Utah Seed Exchange member, said he heard about the group on a radio show and realized it is important people develop the skills of growing and preserving seeds.

Bring your yard sale to campus
BYU students will have the opportunity to buy and sell their unwanted belongings at Brigham’s Yard Sale Wednesday on the terrace in the Wilkinson Student Center.
There will be 37 booths available for students for $5 who are interested in selling their items.
Glo Kamae, a member of the student activities board, said Brigham’s Yard Sale is a great opportunity for students to part with their old items and buy fun, “new” ones. Students and community members can take what others call junk and make it their treasure.
