Details
This three session intensive will immerse growers into the practice of seed saving through hands-on learning, presentations, and field trips. We will begin with building a common understanding of seed terminology and botany. Participants will learn isolation and hand-pollination techniques, and also explore seed saving practices for encouraging high genetic diversity and bioregional adaptation. Together we will harvest seeds from dry-seeded and wet-seeded crops to learn processing techniques and review best practices for seed storage.
Through all three sessions, we will explore the value of seed saving for food sovereignty, climate resilience and cultural heritage.
