Seed-Saving Workshop at the Museum

Join the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History for a seed-saving workshop on Saturday, September 7 at 9 a.m.! California is one of the most diverse regions in the world for plants, with many species found nowhere else and a large number of unique habitats. These plants and habitats in turn support an amazing amount of pollinators, many of which are in peril. Planting regionally specific wildflowers is one of the best ways to support these pollinators.

During this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore how seed-saving can support pollinators, identify nectar-rich plants, and learn how to grow California native plants from seed.

This workshop will begin with a lecture inside the Museum, followed by seed saving, winnowing and planting in the garden. Each participant will leave with regionally specific seeds for their own garden, multiple seed-starts in pots, and a slew of new skills.
