Workshop Description
If you’re interested in seed saving, understanding some basic concepts before you get started will make the process easier. Learn the difference between open-pollinated and hybrid seed and gain understanding of plant taxonomy, reproductive structures and pollination methods. Seed Savers Exchange staff will also touch on the isolation techniques used at its 890-acre home, Heritage Farm.
