Village Vancouver's Cedar Cottage Seed Saving Collective presents an urban seedsaving workshop from 6: 30 to 8: 30 p.m. on Oct. 26 at Strathcona Community Centre, 601 Keefer St. Speaker Justice Marshall will provide a general overview of vegetable seed types and seed-saving techniques. Marshall apprenticed with Dan Jason (Salt Spring Seeds) for the 1999 season. He previously gardened at Hollyhock Retreat Centre and went on to start Linnaea Farm Seeds in 2000. Bring your seed-saving experiences and freshly harvested seed to clean and process or give away. Members of the collective will be available to share their experience of this year's seed harvest. Light refreshments and cookies will be available. Cost is $10 or by donation-no one will be turned away for lack of funds. The workshop is suitable for all levels. For those who haven't attended a workshop before, the booklet The Five Levels of Seed Saving is included with your donation.
