MSU NORTH FARM SHORT COURSE: SEED SAVING –
Sunday, October 9 · 1-6 pm
Saving seeds gives individuals the ability to select UP-hardy plant varieties and carry them on for future generations.

Hands-on: Save seeds from open-pollinated plants using wet and dry process

Planning a seed-saving garden
Harvesting and storing seeds
Wet process/dry process
