A great way to support your local gardening community is to save and swap seed, but it can be intimidating! How do you know that your seed will be viable? Will the plants grown be true to type? In this workshop, we'll outfit you with the tools to save seeds from your garden.
We'll discuss:
-
how to plan ahead for saving seeds in your garden
-
how to recognize when seeds are ready for harvest, and how to harvest them
-
best practice for storing your saved seeds so they'll sprout in the spring!
Join us for our third Grow More Good workshop to level up your gardening and learn how you can be part of feeding your community!
