Learn the tricks of the trade for collecting, cleaning and storing native plant and veggie seeds for your home garden or to share!
Harvesting your own seeds saves you money and gives you more variety in your garden. Marlene Smith, president of Wild Ones Chesapeake Bay, and Molly Moore, president of Southern Maryland Audubon, will teach you the difference between shakers, beaks, coneheads, and more, then will guide you in cleaning and packaging seeds to take home. We welcome beginners as well as experienced seed collectors.
This program is made possible with support from Wild Ones Chesapeake Bay, Southern Maryland Audubon, University of Maryland Extension Master Gardener Program and the LMPP Community Garden. This workshop may qualify for continuing education hours for Master Gardeners and other University of Maryland Extension programs.
