Public seed exchange & presentation event sprouts in Livingston

Paradise Permaculture Institute (PPI) will present its 5th Annual Seed Extravaganza for farmers and backyard growers on Saturday, January 26th with events from 10:30am–12:30pm. Alongside the seed exchange, the event will include presentations by expert grower co-panelists Caleb Warnock and Michele Evans.
Warnock will give his insight into “Seed Saving” via live stream from his web-based Renaissance Seeds in Alpine, Utah. He’s the bestselling author of 24 nonfiction books, including The Art of Baking with Natural Yeast and Forgotten Skills of Sufficiency.
Evans will present “Hands-on Seed Saving” with tips and tricks from her more than 40 years of experience. She’s a Montana Master Gardener Level 3 and bio-intensive instructor who works with non-profit Ecology Action. She has lived and grown food in the Gallatin Valley since 1978.
This FREE afternoon seed swap and social gathering will be held at the Livingston-Park County Public Library, located at 228 W Callendar. Bring your own seeds if you have them, and envelopes or containers to collect them. Recycled junk mail envelopes work well. Feel free to stay and browse the library’s gardening resources after the swap!
