The Bennington Chapter of UVM Extension Master Gardeners is hosting a season relevant talk on seed saving for next year's garden. The presentation will provide an introduction into some of the reasons people choose to save their own seeds, the basic principles for saving high quality seed, as well as some of the pitfalls to avoid. A time for questions will follow the presentation.
