Seed Saving 101
PRACTICING THE ART OF SEED SAVING

Learn and practice the art of seed saving like our ancient ancestors. Begin with a visually interactive discussion around our deeply-rooted history with seed saving. Explore the current reality of seeds globally and opportunities to pick up where our ancestors left off. Participate in a hands-on seed saving activity where you’ll learn the process of seed saving from collection to proper storage. Each attendee will take home an array of seeds ready to plant in the spring to begin their seed-saving journey at home.

About the Instructor

Conner Parrish owns Blossoming Roots Farm and Supply in Ashland, Virginia. Blossoming Roots is a local cut flower farm with a mission to protect and nurture the environment around us! Conner has always been a nature lover and started down this path after the sudden loss of his father at an early age. He quickly realized nature is what grounded him and after becoming a beekeeper in college, he began to understand the therapeutic benefits it cultivated within him. Flower farming naturally entered the picture after he was planting them to feed his bees. Fast forward to today and he owns a cut flower farm that donates a portion of profit to pollinator conservation each month! He is finally living the dream and helping the world be a better place.
