Silly question I know, but have you found that your weekly shop is going through the roof? Discover how seed saving can help improve your food budget, assist biodiversity and generate self-reliance at the
Seed Saving Sessions , run by Sunshine Coast Libraries.
Join Soul Cauley from the
Maleny Seed Library for basic seed-saving techniques. Soul Cauley initially approached Sunshine Coast Libraries about housing seeds (see my previous article on the
Seed Library Program here ), accurately believing that libraries are generally at the heart of a community, providing one of very few spaces where the community can gather at no cost.
At the Seed Saving Sessions, participants will -
Explore the value of seed saving, the difference between open pollinated and hybrid seeds, how to harvest and how to store seeds correctly.
See a variety of seeds on display that are easy-to-save seeds like lettuce, tomato, beans and peas.
The Seed Saving Sessions will be held at the Kawana, Maroochydore, Maleny, Nambour and Caloundra Libraries on specific dates in February and March.
