Seed Stewardship:  Why and How to Save Seeds

Saturday, September 26, 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm                 Randall Davey Audubon Center Pavilion

Humans have been saving seeds for at least 10,000 years.  In this workshop you’ll learn the advantages of locally adapted seeds and how they offer resilience to the impacts of climate change, how to know when seeds are ready to collect and how to store them; techniques for determining the viability of seeds; and why saving seeds from hybrid varieties is problematic.  Taught by Susie Sonflieth, Dianne Pratt, and Jody Pugh.
