ONLINE: Spring Seed Saving

Erik Wochholz, Curator of Historic Landscapes at Strawbery Banke Museum, will talk with us about the practice and science of heirloom seed saving at home, and creating sustainable seed systems. He'll share last season stories on challenging varieties, successes, and introducing new varieties into small scale production lines.

Erik will present for about 45 minutes, then we'll move to Q&A and moderated discussion.
