Seed saving in Saline

Let’s talk seeds! Come along for a relaxed, social event to find out more about the Fife Seed Library. We’ll talk about:

• why seed saving is important for food security,
• why seed saving is good for your garden,
• how to save different kinds of seeds from flowers, fruit and veg,
• how to recognise wildflowers in your area and harvest their seed to spread,
• what even is a seed and how does it work?!

We’ll bring along some recently harvested local seeds so you can get hands on with sorting from the chaff and learning what different kinds of seeds are like.

We’d love to hear from you – what wildflowers are growing in your area, and what would you like to see more of? What’s going on in your local community garden? Have you saved seeds and what has been the result? If you have any seeds you’ve saved this year that you’d like to share with the Seed Library Cabinet, please bring those along too!

Homemade snacks and hot drinks provided!

Access information: There are some small steps into the church hall and a couple of steps up to the Hall once inside. Parking is available in the bus turning circle area just down from the church in Main Street or on Oakley Road. There are toilets on site.

This event is organised in partnership with Saline and Steeland Environmental Group and the Drying Green community garden.
