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.
