Seed saving offers many benefits to gardeners. It saves them money every year so that they do not have to buy all their seeds, ensures that they will be able to replant their favorite varieties, helps maintain genetic diversity within plants and more. In this presentation, we will explore the world of seed saving and how participants can be a part of it.
The “Saving Your Garden’s Seeds: Tips for Saving and Why It Matters” event will be held via Zoom on Thursday, April 8, 2021 from 6-7 pm EDT. Register here.
