Through demonstrations using a variety of plants, Owen will share practical tips and best practices drawn from years of experience stewarding culturally significant and heirloom seeds. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of how seed saving supports biodiversity and food traditions and will take home seeds to begin their own seed-saving journey. Date October 31,
