LAKEPORT >> The University of California Cooperative Extension program will hold a workshop on saving seeds on Nov. 1 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Agricultural Center in Lakeport.
Whether you are motivated by the rising prices of heirloom vegetable seeds, are into breeding your own locally-adapted cultivars, or are worried about whether your favorite variety of vegetable will be available for purchase in the years to come, saving your own seeds is a good idea for many reasons.
This workshop will introduce how to save seeds, which seeds are realistically worth saving for home vegetable gardeners of varying skills and determination and the advantages to coordinating efforts with others. Attendees may have the opportunity to network with like-minded gardeners to team up to make their seed saving efforts more practical and complete.
Pre-registration is required for this workshop as space is limited. A $5 materials fee is requested.
For information or to register for the workshop, contact the University of California Cooperative Extension at 263-6838, or email celake@ucanr.edu.
The Agricultural Center is located at 883 Lakeport Blvd.
