Successful seed saving workshop with Sustainable Gardening Australia

Learn the traditional skills of collecting, cleaning, drying and storing vegetable and flower seeds from your garden. There are many benefits of saving your own seeds, including saving money, having seeds to share with others, preserving heirloom varieties and growing plants perfectly suited to your environment.

Seed saving was once an essential life skill passed down through the generations, and learning how to do it may be easier than you think.

Presented by Sustainable Gardening Australia, this workshop will help you access this lost gardening wisdom and set you up for seed saving success.

Topics covered:

• benefits of seed saving
• planning ahead to ensure the seeds you save will flourish when planted
• the seed saving process step-by-step: selecting parent plants, collecting, cleaning, drying and storing seeds
• five easiest vegetable and flower seeds to save
• how to connect with other seed savers in your community through seed swaps and libraries.

This event is presented in partnership with My Smart Garden. Feel free to bring seeds and seedlings to swap at this workshop. We will also have some seeds and seedlings to give away to workshop attendees.

Bookings will close 4.30pm on day of session.
