Seed Saving in a Time of Change

Seed Saving in a Time of Change
Sat, Aug 3 · 3:30pm - 5:00pm
Community Room, Richmond Public Library

Do you rely on getting seeds or starts from a nursery? Are the seeds you are planting adapting to our changing climate and to your preferences? Learn the ancient practice of saving seeds. Register for free at givebutter.com/Aug3.

Over 94% of the seed commercially available 100 years ago is gone. The loss of genetic diversity and the current model of breeding for uniformity makes our food system much more susceptible to shocks from pests and diseases to severe weather events due to climate change. This class focuses on food crops. Help create a local seed shed in our community and be part of the solution.

Instructor: Rebecca Newburn is  Co-founder of the Richmond Grows Seed Lending Library and Founder of the Seed Library Network.
