The Windham Garden Club’s October meeting will be Thursday, October 16, at 7:00pm at the Windham Town Hall. This is an open meeting, and all are invited to attend! Join us as our speaker Master Gardener Donna Lussier talks about the basics of seed saving.
Gardeners often become interested in seed saving, a practice dating back thousands of years. While most now buy affordable, quality seeds from commercial suppliers, some are turning to saving seeds—especially those who value unique, heirloom, or locally adapted plants.
At this presentation attendees will learn why saving seeds is important, what kinds of seeds to save and when to harvest them, the different methods for processing seeds and preparing them for storage, and several tips and tricks ensure successful germination.
Donna Lussier has been a UNH Extension Master Gardener since 2017 and a Master Gardener Speakers Bureau presenter since 2018. Through the Master Gardeners Speakers Bureau Donna periodically presents gardening topics to libraries, garden clubs, and community organizations. In addition, Donna is a member of the Pelham Garden Group and New Hampshire Federation of Garden Clubs. Her goal is to share her gardening knowledge with the community so others may reap the benefits of enjoyment, bonding, and fulfillment, and connect with their own gardens and nature.
