Join us for the next national seed savers zoom in May to connect with other seed savers, share experiences, ask questions and hear interesting stories about a range of seed saving topics including landrace breeding, organizing a seed saving group or project, saving seeds on a working farm, drying seeds in wet weather and interesting seed varieties. There will be opportunity to ask questions and contribute your thoughts too.
We’re excited to have Costa Georgiadis joining us for this discussion!
Costa’s appearance is supported by the Australian Government Black Summer Bushfire Recovery Fund.
