Learn the tricks of the trade for collecting, cleaning, and storing native plant seeds for your home garden or to share!

Harvesting your own seeds saves you money and gives you more variety in your garden. Master Gardener and Master Naturalist Molly Moore will teach you the difference between shakers, beaks, cone heads, and more, and will guide you in cleaning and packaging seeds. Some seeds will be used to restock the St. Mary’s Library  SEEDS catalog for public distribution and you will be able to take some seeds home with you as well. We welcome beginners as well as experienced seed collectors.
