SUMMARY:Triad Chapter – Native Seed Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 6:30pm, Wednesday, November 5th at the Kathleen Clay Edwards Library for a workshop on collecting, preparing and sowing native seeds. We will have seeds from several varieties of plants available but, you are encouraged to bring one of your own to process. It is recommended to keep seeds in a labeled storage container like a paper bag.\nFor the meeting we will watch a portion of Dr. Larry Mellichamp’s video on seed preparation and sowing. Afterwards, we will break into small groups to work on preparing seeds. There will also be a brief demo on winter sowing.\nGuidelines for Ethical Wild Seed Collection:\nClick here to access the Guidelines for Ethical Wild Seed Collection ( https://ncwildflower.org/wp-content/uploads/Seed-Saving-Instructions.pdf )\nThese comprehensive guidelines provide crucial insights into responsible seed collection practices. Whether you’re a seasoned conservationist or a novice gardener, this resource offers valuable advice to ensure your seed gathering aligns with ethical and ecological principles.\nBelow is a list of resources that have been shared from the Land of the Sky Chapter when they did a recent event on Seed Collection & Preparation.\nSeed collection, cleaning, storage, and planting books\nHere are some helpful books.  My personal favorite is Jan Midgley’s self-published, book.  I do own all three and Cullina’s books are wonderful and I usually look at his book and Jan’ when I have questions.
