Topics will include seed patent laws, seed terms, tomato seed saving, container gardening, healthy soils, drip irrigation and more. A large bulk seed bazar will be held allowing participants to purchase over 100 different types of seeds including fruit, vegetable and plants that thrive in the southwest climate. http://www.growphx.com/seed-up/
