1:30pm - 3pm KOHA WORKSHOP: Seed Saving - KOHA - Registrations required - email community@kaicycle.org.nz to sign up.

Join us for this introductory workshop on seed saving. Seed saving is an ancient practice and an essential tool in creating a circular and resilient food system and enabling kai sovereignty. It also allows us to select for seed that will thrive in our micro-climates, strengthening crops year by year. We'll wānanga about the importance of saving seed, understanding the whakapapa of seeds and plant reproduction, and what you need to know to start saving seed yourself. We'll put our learnings into practice at the farm, saving and processing seed from our summer crops. We will have an area for swapping seed, so please bring along any saved seed you would like to swap.
