Ecological Gardening Through the Seasons: Gathering, Saving, & Sowing Seeds

Learn how to sustain and expand your own native plant sanctuary through the ancient arts of seed saving and sowing. We will review the details of gathering, processing, storing, and sowing seeds of some of our favorite native plants. We will discuss the how, when, where, and why of this specialized practice. The class will have hands-on demonstrations in SHP’s Propagation Station, where we have been propagating native perennials since autumn 2024. You will learn how to propagate your own plant stock, cutting your garden costs while also protecting our local ecosystems.
