4-H Family Seed Saving Club

   We don't give them much thought but with a possible seed shortage and more folks wanting to know where their food comes from this is a great time to learn about not only saving seeds but the versatility of seeds.  Many families have planted gardens for generations.  There is nothing like using fresh herbs or veggies from your own garden or even gifting them to neighbors.  How that all starts is with a seed.  If you take a little time you can harvest your own seeds to plant again, or swap with someone else.  

If gardening isn't your thing think about how seeds are used in cooking and even crafts.  We will explore some popular and maybe some unheard of seed recipes as well get crafty with the unique works of art.   You will be amazed at what you can create, grow, and eat just from some little seeds.

More of our 4-H families have asked for SPIN Clubs that will allow the entire family to take part.  That is what we are doing with this opportunity.  Everything starts with the seeds you plant so why not plant this seed with your family on May 4 & 11 from 6-8 pm and see what it is all about.  Some good might just grow from it.

To register for this free opportunity you can go to programs in our app or click this link:  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/family-seed-saving-4-h-club-tickets-625700736747
