Seed Saver Class: September 4, 2025 6-8pm

The Conservancy, in partnership with Grow Local Colorado, is excited to bring our first seed saver class to Civic Center on September 4, 6-8pm.

This will be an informal, hands-on class highlighting the abundance of seed, how and what’s available to collect (we can select a few examples of easy to collect seeds–veg or flower or both), how seed saving has significance to cultures in the world, our health and wellbeing. The park is a great place to gather and engage in this very human activity of seed collecting. We’re surrounded by plants!

Participants will explore the gardens, learn when the time is right to collect seeds, an overview on seed processing, and take away a piece of the park for their own gardens.

Why do we save seeds? We’ll discuss that as well. Seeds are saved to preserve biodiversity, for nourishment, to preserve cultural memories, for ritual, to create beauty, to uphold healthy ecosystems and food for other lives that we share this earth with.

A special thank you to City Beautiful and Cultivators Collective, two key donor programs that make the Conservancy’s work possible. Through their generous support we are able to plan more small garden-focused activities.

REGISTRATION IS CLOSED FOR SEED SAVER CLASS.
