Turn Lyme Green hosts Seed Saturday March 1st. Free seeds, gardening advice, and baked goods will be available.
You can find free seeds to take or swap there. Donations for Turn Lyme Green are appreciated. Winnow Farm Seeds will sell her seeds too, and CBPlants brings herbs for sale. They also offer secateur sharpening services.
Suzy Gallina coordinates Seed Saturday for Turn Lyme Green. She said entry is free and everyone is welcome to come, as they want to boost local gardening. The event encourages growing food and flowers affordably.
They expanded the event this year. Tea and baked goods will be there. The Dorset Bee will also attend the event. They will share beekeeping advice and show hive examples.
Suzy explains why saving seeds matters: good seed provides better results. It improves germination and growth, and plants become more resilient too. Seeds adjust to the local climate over time, which helps them handle harsh weather events.
Fewer companies now control our seed supply, which reduces genetic diversity. Saving and sharing seeds helps create a stronger plant population. They can better handle climate change challenges.
