Exeter Seed Bank is holding a pair of seed-packing workshops on Sunday 19 November and Sunday 3 December at Exeter Phoenix.
The free workshops are an opportunity to share ideas over a drink while packing seeds that have been donated to the seed bank and getting them ready for distribution in and around Exeter next spring.
Exeter Seed Bank aims to share knowledge about seed saving, an ancient craft that is being revived in the face of diminishing seed diversity.
It is creating a seed bank that works in local soils and takes into account other issues such as biodiversity loss and climate change.
It aims to hold organic, heirloom or heritage flower and vegetable seeds, with wildflower mixes to increase the presence of pollinators.
It also programmes events that follow the seed calendar and creatively engage people with the natural world while encouraging environmental stewardship.
The Exeter Seed Bank workshops run from 11am-1pm on Sunday 19 November and 2-4pm on Sunday 3 December 2023 at Exeter Phoenix.
They are free to attend. Visit the Exeter Phoenix website for more information and to book your place.
