A course for anyone who is interested in seedsaving, or who wants to improve their seedsaving abilities, while spending a weekend in the beautiful Pembrokeshire countryside.

The course will be run by Kate McEvoy and Ben Gabel of the Real Seed Catalogue, and hosted by Brithdir Mawr Community.

The course will cover:-

  • the basic principles of seedsaving; how and why to choose the particular plants to save seed from

  • isolation, selection, and population size; when it matters and what to do to get the best seed

  • how to harvest and process seed; tricks of the trade using common household utensils.

Most of the sessions will involve practical, hands on activities in the Real Seed Catalogues seed and trial gardens.

Why save seed?

  • Better, tastier vegetables, perfectly suited to your own garden and soil

  • Better seed than any you can buy - for free

  • Keep your favourite varieties alive, as the catalogues shift to hybrids

 

Cost of the course including all meals:

£110 per person including dormitory accommodation (£85 un/low waged),
£95 per person camping (£75 un/low waged).

Climate Change Action: £10 discount for anyone travelling by public transport or bike
