Seed Saving 101 at Edgewood Community Farm

Join us for a hands-on seed saving workshop where you’ll learn how to collect, dry, and store seeds so you can grow your favorite plants again next season. We’ll break down the basics of seed saving, which crops are easiest for beginners, and how to avoid common issues like mold, pests, and cross-pollination. We’ll walk through real examples from the farm, do a live demo of a few different seed-saving methods, and share tips for labeling and storing seeds so they stay viable long-term. Everyone will head home with a simple seed-saving guide, a starter seed packet (saved onsite), and the confidence to start building your own seed library at home. Thanks to a grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, we’re able to offer this workshop at a reduced rate of $5, waivable upon request. This event takes place at Edgewood Community Farm — just head up the red stairs to the left of the yellow house at 2304 2nd St. NE. If this is an indoor event or if we need a rain backup, the event will be held inside the yellow house. For paid events, registration fees for no-shows will be treated as donations to the farm. For paid workshops, no one will be turned away for inability to pay. If you’d like to attend but need a discounted rate, please email [email protected].
