Workshop Description
Learn the traditional skills of seed saving in your garden: collecting, cleaning, drying and storing your homegrown vegetable and flower seeds. 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.
