Seed Collecting, Saving, & Sharing

Seed Collecting, Saving, and Sharing with Marty Fisher from the R.I. Wild Plant Society at Portsmouth Free Public Library on Saturday, September 25 at 9:30.    Fall is a grand time to plan for changes to be made in your garden.  Collecting and saving the seeds from your favorite plants is a good way to begin and can be a rewarding experience.  Sharing your extra seeds will help someone else expand their garden palette.    Gardener Marty Fisher enjoys blooming plants along with ripening seed heads in her garden.  All of her plants have been grown from seeds that she has saved, collected, or bought.  The fun of propagating seeds continues year and year.   Learn when seeds are ripe for collecting, what storage treatments they may need, and find out when to start planting the seeds so they will be just the right size when spring arrives again.  Plan to collect and bring some seeds from your plants to share with others in the class.   This program is free and open to the public.  Seating is limited so please stop by or call the Library at 683-9457 to register.
