The Communal Garden: Seed Saving

This is a community gardening class taught by the Conservatory’s Growing to Green Coordinator, Sean McKay. Classes in The Communal Garden series teach gardeners skills that can be used in community gardens or to support their community through gardening. They are low-cost in an effort to advance gardening skills in our communities. The series is a part of the Conservatory’s Growing to Green program, which supports and develops community gardens across Central Ohio.

Seed saving is a simple method of propagation for home gardeners that consists of collecting the seeds that plants produce and saving them to sow the following year. Saving your own seeds is less expensive than purchasing new seed packets or grown transplants from the store.
