Fighting Seeds

Fighting Seeds is a multi-phase initiative that combines seed collection, storytelling, and artistic performance to honour plants as active participants in resistance, to celebrate and preserve Palestinian agricultural heritage. The project aims to recreate “portions” of Palestinian land as a place of aggregation and reflection, through the sowing of plants and seeds that are among the most representative and resistant of the Palestinian culture and agriculture. Through community gardening and seed preservation, we demonstrate how communities resist alongside the land itself, using seeds as both practical tools and powerful metaphors for resilience and regeneration.

Westfeld Garten (WFG) is a collaborative, permaculture-based community garden located on the historic Tempelhofer Feld in Berlin (Tempelhofer Damm 61, 12101 Berlin, Germany). The project is coordinated by Feld Food Forest e.V (FFF), a non-profit association founded in 2022, which unites ten organisations and works with a wide network of partner initiatives dedicated to sustainability, soil health, and participatory urban development. FFF is the first garden in Berlin to host our Palestinian seedlings and we hope many more gardens will follow. Please reach out to us to join our collective effort. We would love to have you in the garden.
