Kane County Master Gardeners to host Seed Saving Class May 11

Saving your own seeds is easy and free, but many home gardeners do not where to begin.

In May, join Master Gardeners Sue Styer and Leah Beck to discuss how to save seeds from your own garden. Find out which seeds are worth the effort, and which are not. Plus, learn methods of cleaning and storing your seeds.

"Saving your own seeds can be simple and successful with the right instruction," said Sarah Fellerer, Master Gardener program coordinator with University of Illinois Extension. "Program attendees will learn valuable information to begin or improve the seed saving process for various vegetables, flowers and native plants."

The "Seed Saving" presentation will be at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, May 11, at the University of Illinois Extension office in Kane County, 535 S. Randall Road, St. Charles. Registration is required, and space is limited.

The workshop fee is $10 per person.

If a reasonable accommodation is needed to attend this program, call the office at (630) 584-6166, at least two weeks prior to the event.
