Are you interested in preserving seed stock for your vegetable garden, including heirlooms? Want to store native Hawaiian plant seeds? This class is geared toward homeowners and others who want to start banking seeds on a small scale using effective but low-cost/low-tech methods. After an informal presentation, Dr. Chau will lead some hands-on demonstrations of techniques and tools used in home seed banking. Lastly the class will visit the Hawaiian Rare Plant Program’s Seed lab, which is managed by Marian, to see how the professionals use cutting edge methods to keep rare plants safe from extinction. Participants will each receive a packet of Native Hawaiian plant seeds.
