about

My sister-in-law’s mum Fiona gave me some marrows a few years ago to save the seeds. She told me the story of how these seeds had been rescued from Syria and gardeners around the world were looking after them until they can return to the Fertile Crescent.

lyrics

We sow these seeds, my love
A gift held for far off friends
In many gardens they grow, one day to rewild their home
They endure, and I will tend
They endure, and I will tend

They sow these seeds with love
Swelled by the rising Spring
Revolution, broken ground, hostility all round
So many scores took wing
So many scores took wing

He sows these seeds with love
Pulled from the once lush ground
Carries flower, grass and vine, across the border line
To lay roots in another land
To lay roots in another land

She sows these seeds with love
Nurturing every shoot
That travelled many miles, surviving every trial
She hands me budding fruit
She hands me budding fruit

We sow these seeds, my love
A gift held for far off friends
In many gardens they grow, some day to rewild their home
They endure, and I will tend
They endure, and I will tend
