Learn seed saving techniques at Lombard Garden Club event

The Lombard Garden Club is hosting a special program on "How to Save Seeds: Timing, Viability, Methods" by Paul Velat at 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 15, at the Helen Plum Library, 411 S. Main St. in Lombard.

As an elementary teacher with experience gardening and savings seeds of all kinds, Velat will conduct a presentation and conversation to learn techniques on saving seeds and promoting viability with those seeds.

Velat will review the methods of seed saving and guide participants through identifying those which are viable and those which would not be viable. Examples of viable and unviable seeds will be displayed, and there will be time for questions and comments.

There is no charge and the public is welcome to attend.
