Nurturing and collecting seed is becoming an increasingly important garden skill in building community resilience. But it's so involved. Join us to learn the traditional skills of collecting, cleaning, drying and storing vegetable and flower seeds from your garden.
There are many benefits of saving your own seeds, including saving money, having seeds to share with others, preserving heirloom varieties and growing plants perfectly suited to your environment. Seed saving was once an essential life skill passed down through the generations, and learning how to do it may be easier than you think.
This one-hour online workshop, presented by Charlotte Harrison, will help you access this lost gardening wisdom and set you up for seed saving success. Topics covered include:
The benefits of seed saving;
Planning ahead to ensure the seeds you save will flourish when planted;
The seed saving process step-by-step: selecting parent plants, collecting, cleaning, drying and storing seeds;
5 easiest vegetable and flower seeds to save;
How to connect with other seed savers in your community through seed swaps and libraries.
