4.5.25 Free Garden Workshop: Landrace Gardening with Paul Deer
Join us on Saturday, April 5th, from 9am-12pm for a workshop on landrace gardening with our very own Farm Manager at Apple Seeds, Paul Deer! Learn how to cultivate resilient, locally adapted crops through selective seed saving and natural cross-pollination. Paul will walk us through how this approach enhances genetic diversity, empowering plants to thrive in your unique growing conditions while reducing worries about pests, disease, and climate challenges. Discover how to nurture your crops across generations and gain practical skills to start saving your own seeds.
Don’t miss this opportunity to grow stronger, healthier plants with a more sustainable approach!
While the workshops are free, registration is required as attendance is capped to provide a quality experience for attendees.
