Courses

Sorry no course at Real Seeds this year

Learn how to: hand pollinate squash; process tomato seed;
breed the best carrots; build an isolation cage; and much more!

A course for anyone who is interested in seedsaving, or who wants to improve their seedsaving abilities, while spending a weekend in the beautiful Pembrokeshire countryside.

The course will be run by Kate McEvoy and Ben Gabel of the Real Seed Catalogue.

The course will cover:-

• the basic principles of seedsaving; how and why to choose the particular plants to save seed from

• isolation, selection, and population size; when it matters and what to do to get the best seed

• how to harvest and process seed; tricks of the trade using common household utensils.

Most of the sessions will involve practical, hands on activities in the Real Seed Catalogues seed and trial gardens.

Why save seed?

• Better, tastier vegetables, perfectly suited to your own garden and soil

• Better seed than any you can buy - for free

• Keep your favourite varieties alive, as the catalogues shift to hybrids

Cost of the course including all meals:

£110 per person including dormitory accommodation (£85 un/low waged),
£95 per person camping (£75 un/low waged).

Climate Change Action: £10 discount for anyone travelling by public transport or bike
