Join a fine gathering of like minded organizations in a Seed Saving Class at the Point Reyes Farmers Market the last Saturday of March the 28th beginning at 10am with the Seed Saving Class at the community room at the Bolinas Fire Station 100 Mesa Road. All are welcome.
The Seed Saving Class will be a user friendly orientation to the mysteries of saving plant seeds, harvesting and processing of seeds. The class is suitable for the beginner and green thumb types. The class will include:

* introduction to the philosophy of seed saving
* easy, real life correlations to better understand plant traits that affect seed saving
* distinguishing between plants that are easy seed savers (self-pollinators) and plants that are cross-pollinators
* hands-on processing techniques and demonstrations
* how to store and preserve cultural information

The class typically runs just under two hours, depending on questions and processing rates. Bring seeds or stalks in with questions and participate in the hands on processing!
