Seed Savers Exchange is offering free gardening and seed-saving help to community members

Seed Savers Exchange is offering to help area individuals and organizations grow food and save seeds, all in a socially distanced manner.
 
"All assistance is completely free of charge and will follow safety protocols and social-distancing guidelines," says SSE education and engagement manager Jeanine Scheffert. "Our hope is to increase local resilience by working towards area food and seed security."
 
Those interested need only meet one of the following criteria:
●     Be new to gardening: Individuals or organizations that want to learn how to start and maintain a garden and/or need extra hands to find success while learning.
●     Be new to seed saving: Individuals or organizations that want to learn how to add seed saving to a home garden.
●     Be interested in growing surplus food for community donation: Individuals or organizations that have ample gardening space to produce extra food but require more hands and time to do so. (Please note: SSE has extra seeds and transplants available for those who want to grow produce to donate to the community.)
