We will discuss: the economics and politics of seed-saving and several ways to collect, dry and store saved seed from very easy (beans, squash and other larger seeded plants) to seeds that require a little fermenting, flower seeds, stratifying, saving seeds from produce you buy and wild harvesting. Feel free to bring a specimen to de-seed!
Save them now for something to grow later or swap in January!

A $5 donation helps us cover printing costs for hand-outs and provide continued community outreach programs, such as this.
Stick around for a great double-header as Judi Strauss, of The Charmed Kitchen will present a Food Preservation Overview:canning,drying,fermenting,freezing and more.
