Thomas Jefferson’s historic mountaintop home, Monticello, is a National Historic Landmark and the only house in the United States designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Monticello is owned and operated by the Thomas Jefferson Foundation Inc., which was founded in 1923. As a private, nonprofit 501(c)3 corporation, the foundation receives no ongoing federal, state or local government funding in support of its dual mission of preservation and education.
Southern Exposure Seed Exchange, located in Central Virginia, started in 1982 in a small family garden and a kitchen co-opted for seed processing. The kitchen garden has since expanded to numerous growing areas supplemented by a nationwide seed grower network. Now the seed company has its own office, germination testing facility and environmentally controlled seed storage areas. SESE emphasizes seed varieties adapted to the Mid-Atlantic region, and it serves gardeners throughout the United States and Canada.
Seed Savers Exchange conserves biodiversity by maintaining a collection of more than 20,000 different varieties of heirloom and open-pollinated plants, varieties that can regenerate year after year. These seeds (and tissue cultures or other plant materials, depending on how a plant reproduces) have the power to withstand unforeseen pestilence and plant disease, climate change, and limited habitat, as well as eliminate dinnertime boredom forever.
