About this Course

Seeds are the foundation of our food system — and saving them is an act of ecological and cultural preservation. Join us for a full-day workshop on the art and science of seed saving across a wide range of vegetables, herbs, and flowers.

Topics covered:
• Why seed saving matters: biodiversity and food security
• Understanding open-pollinated, heirloom, and hybrid varieties
• Isolation distances and preventing cross-pollination
• Wet and dry seed processing methods
• Seed viability, storage, and testing germination rates
• Building a personal and community seed library
• Resources: seed swaps, networks, and seed companies

A curated packet of heirloom seeds is included for every participant to start their own seed collection.
