The demand for seeds has skyrocketed amid the pandemic resulting in seed shortages. Awareness of the importance of seeds and the need for regional seed saving has never been greater. The Great American Seed Up presents Seed Up Saturday on February 27 to support and guide home gardeners looking to expand their planting repertoire and knowledge.

Seed Up Saturday is a free Zoom event with classes on seed saving, including the following: terminology, basics, myths, storage, attracting pollinators to your garden and much more. The three-hour event will take place from 2 until 5 p.m. MST. Participants can sign up online at http://www.seedupsaturday.com.
