Courses

This practical workshop will take you through the details of basic seed saving in the hands of the experts, covering:

• seed collection
• multiplying
• storage
• distribution of open pollinated seed varieties

Students are encouraged to bring seed material with them to this workshop, as we will be actively going through the many stages of seed saving throughout the day.

This unique day is also an opportunity to learn from Jude and Michel the many challenges facing seed sovereignty across the globe, and what strategies communities are putting in place to save their locally adapted varieties

All proceeds from this workshop will go towards community seed network projects, as part of Milkwood's fair share charter.

We also are offering a number of scholarship places for this event to ensure access for everyone, so please get in touch if needed. And if you can afford it, please pay up as your fee will fund future seed sovereignty goodness.
