Seed Saving is a means of ensuring that our food supply is not reliant on a small selection of varieties that can lead to vulnerability to disease, pests, and changes in climate. The practice of seed saving and sharing, seen as a hobby to some, promotes genetic diversity of crops and overall food security. Join Just Food’s Community Gardening Network and participate in a seed saving instructional workshop to learn more about this traditional practice.
This workshop, facilitated by Greta Kryger of Greta’s Organic Gardens, explains and demonstrates how to save seeds from your favourite vegetable varieties from year-to-year. Registrations is required and two dates are available.
When: August 20 at 6-8pm
