There are a number of reasons to save seeds from summer harvests. Saving money and promoting genetic diversity are two reasons, and it's also fun to continue to grow what looks beautiful and tastes good! This workshop will help participants discover the benefits of seed saving and how to preserve heirloom varieties. Also explore the differences between hybrid and open-pollinated varieties of seed, and characteristics of plants that are best suited to seed saving. Finally, learn about harvesting seed, processing the seed and proper storage techniques.
