On Wednesday, August 19 from 9-11am, the Belfast Co-op is sponsoring a vegetable seed saving workshop with Jon Thurston at Troy Howard Middle School, 173 Lincolnville Ave (Rte 52) in Belfast. This free interactive workshop will provide an overview of seed saving and include hands-on time in the garden.

There is no pre-registration required; participants will meet at Troy Howard Middle School near the greenhouse.
