This session returns our focus to seeds. We will look at the basic components of a seed, the fundamentals of pollination, and meet some common pollinators. We will examine how seeds manage to spread on their own and with help, then we’ll introduce the practice of seed saving before trying our hand at processing our own seeds from our best plants to understand heredity and cultivating specific traits that suit our garden.
