Event details
How does your garden grow? With seeds to share! Learn the basics of flower seed saving. Meet a few native plants and other easy-to-grow flowers and get to know their growth habits, pollinators and uses. Then spend some time harvesting and sorting seeds to save and plant in your garden next year. Have seeds from your own garden to swap and share? Bring them along!
While sorting, chat about all things gardening and sip the beverage of your choice. (BYOB; for alcoholic beverages, please bring beer and wine only.) Light snacks will be provided. Participants will leave with seeds from each flower variety, storage envelopes and growing information. Any extra seeds will be donated to the Seed Library at Crete Public Library.
