DESCRIPTION:New topics each* month\n4pm Pacific / 5pm Mountain / 6pm Central / 7pm Eastern\nArizona: 4pm Summer / 5pm Winter (changes w/ DST) \nThis month’s topic: WHO OWNS OUR SEEDS? \n \nRegister HERE anytime for next class \nWho owns our seeds might not be something most gardeners think about\, but it has a big impact on what we grow and how freely we can grow it. For generations\, people saved seeds from their favorite plants—passing them down\, swapping with neighbors\, and experimenting in their own backyards. But now\, many seeds—especially those sold by big companies—are patented\, meaning they can’t legally be saved or shared. This takes control away from everyday growers and puts it in the hands of a few corporations. By supporting seed libraries\, local seed swaps\, and heirloom varieties\, gardeners can help keep seeds—and the joy of growing—free and in the hands of the people who love them. \nIn this LIVE online Q&A Session… \n\nBill McDorman will be discussing key issues relating to growing your own food and saving the seeds yourselves.\nHe will be answering your seed questions live!\nLearn how to save and store seeds so that you can create a thriving\, resilient garden tailored to YOUR yard\nAsk Bill your most pressing seed questions and get the inspiration and know-how to be a seed saving superhero\n\n(*No class in January) \nRegister HERE anytime for next class \nFaculty: Bill McDorman was Executive Director and co-founder of the Rocky Mountain Seed Alliance (RockyMountainSeeds.org)\, SeedSave.org and Seed School.

But in the last century\, that tradition was gradually replaced. Instead of saving your own seeds\, you were encouraged to buy new ones each year. Over time many people forgot how to save seeds at all. Relearning seed saving means reconnecting with a practice that once gave gardeners more control\, resilience\, and diversity in what they grow. Bill McDorman and Greg Peterson will unpack the circumstances that led to the elimination of seed saving and how we can return to this burgeoning new ancient ritual. \nIn this LIVE online Q&A Session… \n\nBill McDorman will be discussing key issues relating to growing your own food and saving the seeds yourselves.\nHe will be answering your seed questions live!\nLearn how to save and store seeds so that you can create a thriving\, resilient garden tailored to YOUR yard\nAsk Bill your most pressing seed questions and get the inspiration and know-how to be a seed saving superhero\n\n(*No class in January) \nRegister HERE anytime for next class \nFaculty: Bill McDorman was Executive Director and co-founder of the Rocky Mountain Seed Alliance (RockyMountainSeeds.org)\, SeedSave.org and Seed School.
