SAVING WILD SEEDS
WITH EMILY WITTKOP
Students will learn the basics of seed saving from start to finish. The lesson will begin with a plant ID walk, where we will discuss when to harvest and ethical collection practices. We will then work on various seed cleaning techniques for a variety of wild plant species. Each student will have the opportunity to bring home a little bag of seed that we’ve cleaned. This is a great class for anyone wanting to learn more about regenerative agriculture and saving seeds for seasons to come.
Age Requirement: for adults and youth 8-17 if their parent or guardian is also registered for the class.
