SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30
Seed Saving Workshop
10:00 – 11:30 AM
Helen Standen, Nursery & Greenhouse Manager, Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens
Have you always wanted to save seeds from your own garden, but you’re not sure where to start? Join us to learn how to tell when seed is viable, mature, and ready to be collected. With an indoor presentation followed by hands-on practice, put your new knowledge to the test by cleaning a variety of seeds and preparing them for storage. Techniques taught will focus mainly on native perennials, but the skills are transferable to many other plant species. Participants will take home the seeds that they clean.
Members: $25 | Non-Members: $35
