This Slow Food Boston event on Sunday, April 13 from 5 – 7 at Allandale Farm, 259 Allandale Road in Brookline, is a workshop on seeds and what it takes to start and keep them growing! Guest speakers include Enid Hart Boasberg of the Concord Seed Lending Library and John Lee of Allandale Farm will teach about seed propagation and seed saving. Attendees will get a first hand look at sustainable gardening practices for hardy plants and will learn methods for preserving seeds for next year’s crop (and the year after that and the year after that…). Additionally, we ask attendees to bring seeds of a favorite vegetable, fruit, or herb to trade with their fellow gardeners. (Heirloom varieties are encouraged!) We will have materials on hand for seed sharing and hot beverages and snacks to keep us warm and spread on what will hopefully be a lovely spring evening. This is how Slow Food Boston does community gardening! $20 per person. To register, visit http://www.meetup.com/Slow-Food-Boston/events/174621102/?a=ea1_grp&rv=ea1.
