AHS Monthly Meeting: Confessions of a Seed Geek
September 3 @ 9:30 am – 11:30 am
It could be said that seed saving is the foundation of civilization. Seed saving by ancient cultures led not only to plant domestication but also the development of culture and society all the way up to today. We’ll talk about geeky seed history, cool seed facts, and getting those seeds saved and planted for next year. Open to the public & free to attend.
