Paradise Permaculture Institute (PPI) will present its 3rd Annual Seed Extravaganza on Saturday, January 28th from 1–4pm. This FREE event and Seed Swap will be held at the Food Resource Center, 220 S 2nd, in Livingston.
Bring your own seeds if you have them, and envelopes or containers to collect them. Recycled junk mail envelopes work well. PPI will also present two excellent speakers at its anticipated event. From fruit harvest to extraction and storage of seeds, they’ll cover more basics than last year. Robin Kelson is the owner of the Good Seed Company, a local heirloom seed company dedicated to helping grow communities of resilient backyard food gardeners and seed savers. Robin’s “Resiliency Dialogues” takes simple resiliency principles from nature and applies them to building vibrant and sustaining gardens, relationships, and communities. Michele Evans will provide hands-on experience with seeds, practical information for growing seed, and bring real growing examples.
Michele Evans is a Montana Master Gardener Level 3 and a bio-intensive instructor working with Ecology Action, a non-profit working in 145 countries teaching nutrition intervention by showing people how to grow all their food and soil.
