Seed Saving Workshop for Beginners

Ever wanted to save seeds from your own vegetables? Saving seeds can save you money and help increase self-reliance and local biodiversity. It also allows for plant adaptation to local conditions and contributes to a more sustainable food system.

In this workshop, we learn the processes needed to successfully save seed for edible plants with lots of tips and tricks of how to get it right the first time. The workshop is for beginner seed savers and will use a combination of theory, demonstration and hands-on practical seed saving to learn about:

- Growing and selecting plants for seed within your garden
- How and when to harvest
- Step-by-step guide from germination to storage with tips on best practices
- Different processing methods with hands-on examples
- Participants with receive a hand-out to accompany the knowledge to practice in their own gardens

Toni Remy is an experienced facilitator from Bega Valley Seed Savers, a vibrant community of volunteers saving local seeds of edible plants for the past 20 years.
