Seed Saving for Beginners

Participants will learn tips and techniques for seed saving in a small-scale garden, including how to select varieties, understand pollination requirements, and promote good seed set. Saving seeds from both dry-seeded (e.g. beans and lettuce) and wet-seeded (e.g. tomatoes and cucumbers) crops will be reviewed, including methods for harvesting and processing. We'll wrap up with tips for seed storage and encourage community seed libraries and seed swaps.
