This talk focuses on saving seed from your own flower, vegetable, and shrub plants. We look at the difference between hybrids, F1 and heritage varieties and how to choose the best plants to save seed from. You'll hear about when to collect your seeds, and when not to.
I demonstrate some seed saving techniques and how to clean them for storage. You'll also see how to test for germination and viability.
The talk is suitable for any time of the year, and perfect for gardening groups and societies. There will be plenty of opportunity for questions and discussions. Please feel free to get in touch if you would like to discuss this talk further. I am happy to travel up to an hour from my home in Norfolk NR29. Please do get in contact if you are unsure whether this applies to you.
