Adventures in Seed Saving

Sep 12, 2023

Join CWF Tuesday, September 12 at 7:00 p.m. ET for tips on using seeds at home and in restoration projects and discover a new and much-needed seed project in Canada. In this webinar our special guest, plant ecologist Stefan Weber, will share easy tips for collecting, storing and germinating seeds of native grasses and wildflowers, as well as some herbs and veggies. He will also speak about the diversity of plants in Canada and efforts to save them via the National Native Seed Strategy project that CWF is leading. Stefan will touch on issues related to seed-sourcing and using local ecosystems to guide your garden choices. We hope to see you there!

Canadian Seed Strategy Framework

Restoring wildflower meadows requires large quantities of wildflower seeds, sourced as locally as possible. As the desire to restore blooming meadows increases in Canada, so does the demand for native seeds. Currently, the supply of local native seed is out-paced by seeding requirements, and is not consistently available across the country.
