*The WSU Seed Library is offering a Lunch and Learn Thursday, March 4 from 12:30-1:30 via zoom to introduce our Community Seed Project and teach about preserving the genetic diversity in our local seed varieties*

With the seed vendors scrambling again this year to provide enough seeds for your garden the WSU Seed Library is offering a project aimed at teaching the backyard gardener how to save seeds from their favorite crops thereby increasing their resiliency. This is a hands-on learning project to teach the practical applications of preserving genetic diversity and maintaining your favorite seed varieties. The Seed Library will provide the seeds: two locally developed varieties, a sweet corn developed at Sunfield Farm by Ezra Sullivan and a black bush shelling bean from Oatsplanter Farm. You grow the plants, harvest some for eating and save seeds from the best plants.  Please join us for a Q/A after the lecture with Katie Miller, a professional seed developer and educator from Organic Seed Alliance. The lecture will be recorded but unfortunately not the Q/A.
