SUMMARY:Saving Seed
DESCRIPTION:Explore how and why to collect\, save\, store & share open-pollinated seed. Leave with new skills & ethical\, local\, organic seed to grow/share \nAll seeds contain a story. They carry a memory of the soil in which they’ve grown\, and possess within them all the information they need to transform. Seed stories are also part of our community – seeds have been traditionally passed down through generations\, connecting crops and flowers to local culture and cuisine. \nJoin us as we get closer to the life cycle of plants and deepen our connection with nature. Learn how different plants reproduce\, and how the gardeners at 42 acres harvest\, clean\, dry\, and store a variety of seeds from our beautiful\, edible ornamental gardens. \nSaving seed is a vital aspect of food sovereignty. By repeatedly saving seed from the healthiest plants on our own plots\, we can grow and share plants well-suited to our location. This practice helps to promote biodiversity\, autonomy\, good health\, and accessibility to food. It’s a fascinating\, rewarding experience. \nYou’ll leave with a living part of 42 acres – ethical\, local\, organic seed to plant and grow. Plus\, the skills that will allow you to continue the cycle at home and become part of the story. \n*All our seeds are open-pollinated and open-source. Please feel free to share\, re-use and breed them as you wish (as long as you don’t restrict others from using them). \nAfter this Experience\, You’re Welcome to: \n\nExplore 173 acres of regenerative estate and nature reserve\nVisit our pioneering agriwilding projects.\nSwim in our 7-acre lake (at your own risk)\nTake our row boat/ SUP boards/ canoes\n\nStay Over:‍ \nAs with all our workshops\, upon booking you’ll receive a 20% discount code for use if you would like to stay overnight (the day before or night of your experience).
