Seeds are Sexy: Sexual Propagation with Janet Melrose

Seeds are really just sexual propagation, but they are ‘sexy’, as in ‘the rage’, these days. Forget buying seedlings from the stores….we can grow our own.
This talk will focus on: the botany of seeds; techniques for breaking dormancy; sowing and growing to seedling stage indoors and outside; savings seeds and storage. We will be discussing both annual and perennial seeds; heirloom, open pollinated, hybrid, GM and GE seeds; and the need to rebuild the diversity of species at the local and international level.
