Exeter Seed Bank Seed Saving Workshop

Perfect for beginners and growers who want to build resilience, save money, and deepen their understanding of plants.

Join Exeter Seed Bank for a hands-on workshop all about saving your own seeds for future growing seasons. The session will include plenty of practical, hands-on activities, plus guidance on how to clean and dry seeds and store them properly so they stay viable for years to come.

We will cover the easy wins: crops that don’t cross-pollinate easily and can be saved from smaller plant populations, including French beans, peas, tomatoes, and lettuce. There will also be an introduction to hand-pollination techniques for squash and courgettes, so you can confidently save seed from these crops too.

The next session is Saturday 5 September.
