How to Save Seeds

Learn to save your own seeds from common vegetables and native plants!

You'll be able to grow stronger plants, save a small fortune and over time develop varieties that are better adapted to your garden. Expert gardener Kat Lavers will cover the basics of how to select, collect, process and store seed from common vegetable families, as well as extending these techniques to indigenous plant seeds. Find out how to contribute to community seed libraries, so you can preserve biodiversity and strengthen local food systems.
