In this session learn with members of Ecohermanas and the Seed Keeper Collective to engage holistically in the process of saving seeds from plants. Explore the stories within seeds and the value of the indigenous, cultural and historical narratives of seeds. We will have an opportunity to experiment hands-on with seed saving techniques from fruits, vegetables and herbs of various sizes. The session will include how to log, store and preserve seeds for use in your garden and how to plant for seed saving too. All supplies provided but please bring seeds to swap.
This class will take place at 3-Part Harmony Farm
