Click here to book tickets on Eventbrite
Learn to save seed from the crops you grow. This one-day workshop gives an introduction to why we should all be saving seed, and the basics of how to go about it, with opportunities for hands-on experience and a chance to see the farm’s various seed-saving projects.
The day will include a tour of the Market Garden, practical activities in the Community Garden, with fresh soup and bread for lunch, plenty of time for questions and chat.
This is one of our favourite subjects and we’re excited to share it with you – join us if you can!
part of Our Seeds – the ongoing project to rebuild seed sovereignty in north Edinburgh

Accessibility Notes
This workshop includes crossing the farm to tour the market garden, and hands-on seed saving activities in the community garden. No heavy lifting. The ground is rough and uneven in the gardens and across the farm. We will be outdoors most of the time – be prepared for windy north Edinburgh! We have outdoor kit you can borrow (wellies, waterproofs, fleeces). We don’t have microphones, but will be a fairly small group (under 20 people).
