The difference between hybrid, genetically modified and heirloom seeds, including how and why we should all be saving our own seeds


How to ensure seed purity


How to make your own cost-effective seed raising mix


How to correctly plant seeds including what can be directly sown versus what needs to be started in seed trays

Detailed notes to take home


 You’ll need to bring:

A sense of adventure
