About this event

  • 1 hour 30 minutes

Many gardeners prefer to purchase seed every year. However, saving seeds from hard-to-find varieties or from carefully selected plants helps to ensure the vigor and heritage of the variety. Saving seeds from your own plants requires selecting suitable plants to collect from, harvesting seeds at an appropriate time, and storing seeds properly over winter. Good seed may mean the difference between success and failure in your garden. Learn the finer tips for collecting, saving, storing, and planting seeds to have a successful garden.
