Seed Lending Library - Introduction to Seed Saving, a Workshop Led by Irene Beebe @ Hayward Main Library - August 8, 2015 - 0949

Workshop participants learned how to save seeds of common vegetables, including "wet seeds" like tomatoes. Community gardeners are encouraged to begin a habit of saving and contributing seeds to the Hayward Seed Lending Library, to share with local gardeners. Workshop participants learned about the advantages of growing locally adapted crops. The workshop was led by Alameda County Master Gardener and Seed Lending Library volunteer Irene Beebe.

 

This workshop was presented as part of the Hayward Seed Lending Library, sponsored by the Friends of the Hayward Library. The Seed Lending Library operates as a community seed exchange. "Check out" a variety of vegetable and flower seeds to plant in your personal garden. In return, consider harvesting some of the seeds from mature plants for your own use and for sharing with the Seed Lending Library. It's easy to become a member or volunteer - learn more at: hayward-ca.gov/seeds.
