SUMMARY:Introduction to Seed Saving: Politics and Practicalities
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe day will include tours of the seed saving in both the Community Garden and the Market Garden\, practical activities\, fresh soup and bread for lunch\, and plenty of time for questions and chat. \nAt Lauriston Farm\, we save seed for growing on our farm year on year and we know how our crops improve from this practice as the seeds adapt to the particularities of our land. We also grow seed crops for sale and as well as an abundance of seed for exchanging and sharing with our wider community. \nThis is one of our favourite subjects and we’re excited to share it with you – join us if you can! \n  \nClick here to book your space on Ticket Tailor \n(We are repeating this workshop in October if you can’t make this date) \n  \nWho is This For?\nThis workshop is for suitable for beginners. You don’t need to have your own garden or allotment – maybe you will one day. Or you can use these skills in any community growing space. The teaching is aimed at adults but you’re welcome to attend with a baby or young child. It is a repeat of the September workshop with the same name – you don’t need to attend both!\nAccessibility Notes \nWe will start with the plants and seeds in our Community Allotments and Garden. If it’s wet weather\, we will then go into the portacabin in the farmyard – there is one step up to this. For the afternoon\, we will walk across the farm to the Market Garden to explore the seed saving and processing here. Throughout\, we will be moving around on uneven\, rough grassy ground which can get muddy. \nIf it would support you to be able to access this event\, we can arrange parking in the market garden so you could drive around rather than walking across the farm. This is for disabled people who need it for access – please contact us to arrange. \nThere is a spacious\, single cubicle\, level access\, gender-neutral composting toilet in both gardens. \nWe will mostly be outdoors – be prepared for windy north Edinburgh! There will be some hands-on activity\, but no heavy lifting. 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). \nSee below about ticket pricing and financial accessibility. \nAbout the Workshop Prices\nWe have three different prices for this workshop. Paying the standard rate makes a contribution to covering our costs. If you can afford to pay the higher rate\, you enable us to offer the discounted rate to folk under financial stress. \nSolidarity (Pay it Forward) £60\nStandard Rate £40\nSolidarity (Take if you Need) £20\n+ booking fee \nClick here to book your space on Ticket Tailor \n  \nWe can arrange a free space if the cost would prevent you from being able to attend – please email communityallotments@lauristonfarm.org to request this \nLocation\nThis workshop starts in the farm’s Community Garden. The entrance is just past the farmyard at the back of the Toby Carvery car park.
