About the event
We're very lucky to have Neil Barraclough of the Heritage and Rare Fruit Network offer to share his seed saving presentation with us for one night only!
Seed saving has heaps of benefits, including saving you money, increased self-reliance meaning you don't need to get seeds from other sources, and the ability to breed plants adapted to your local conditions. It promotes genetic diversity and allows you to connect more deeply with your food.
But there can be some tricks to it, some varieties cross-pollinate more than others which brings different challenges. Neil has quite a bit of experience to share with us which will save you years of trial and error.
