Seed Saving

Learn when, why and how to save seeds and discover nature's treasures for your own collection. As summer winds down, plants are getting ready to spread their seeds and we can gather them for our own collection.

At 12:00, we will go on a scavenger hunt to find and harvest different types of seeds. Alison will share the tricks and tips for knowing when a seed is ripe and how to properly clean and store seeds over the winter.

Tickets

Your Teacher

Alison loves nothing more than being outside in nature, observing and marveling at the beauty and rhythm of the seasons. As a child she always had rocks in her pocket and flowers in her hair – and often still does! In 2016, she saw the movie Seed: The Untold Story which inspired her to begin seed saving and create the Piscataqua Seed Project, an organization that saves and gives seed to all who want to grow a garden. She is a NH certified science educator, ecologist and naturalist who loves to get people curious and pondering the simplicity and magnificence of the natural world.
