Learning to save seeds is a wise move for any gardener. You’ll save a fortune on seed packets and seedlings of course, but over time you’ll also develop stronger plants that are perfectly adapted to your garden’s microclimate, and have plenty to share with friends and family. Join Kat Lavers for this workshop which will cover all the basics of plant selection, pollination, harvesting, drying, cleaning and storing seed for common vegetable varieties.

This event is being held as part of the relaunch of the Glenroy Seed library, which supports the strengthening of plant biodiversity and food security in our local community

Please note that this is an event for Naarm/Melbourne gardeners only. If you live outside this area, please contact your council to find out what free sustainable gardening events are available locally.

If you have any access or support questions or requirements in order to participate fully (eg. interpreter), please let us know at least two weeks prior to the event and we will be pleased to assist you. Photos will be taken at this event, but there is an option to opt out on the day.
