Anna Butterfield: Saving the best to last -- November 18 Seedy Sunday

The November edition of Seedy Sunday is on, after an unexpected hiccup with the September event.

I will be talking about how you can save money, save heritage, save  biodiversity, and save your food all by saving seeds. All it takes is a love of gardening and observation skills. I'll show you the tips and tricks to selecting plants to save seed from and how to harvest , clean and store them.

Remember to bring your labelled seeds, produce and useful plants for the swap table.

Edible Backyard Summer Festival

The lovely Kath Irvine has invited to give seedsaving workshops at the Edible Backyard Summer Festival this February. I’ll also have the new collection of LovePlantLife Seeds available. Very excited! I’ve been to a herbal workshop at Kath’s before and can’t wait to spend two days back there in her wonderful garden with such a fantastic group of presenters.
