A hands-on seed saving workshop taught by Common Ground Farm Manager Ellie Lobovits takes place from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday Oct. 12. Learn how to save seeds and why it’s important for the health of the earth and our own health. Learn how to make your own “new heirloom” in your garden.

Participants will walk the farm field and collect seed stalks to use during the workshop, and come away with hands-on skills as well as a list of seed-saving resources.

Cost is $20/$18 for Friends of CGF. The workshop will be held at Common Ground Farm, 79 Farmstead Lane, Wappingers Falls. Register in advance. Email Education Director Sember Weinman at [email protected].
