Learn how to save your seeds from this summer's bounty! North Carolina's Tomato Man, Craig Lehoullier, is back, and in this wide ranging, fun workshop, he will focus on seeds - where to purchase, what to watch for, and for tomatoes, how to save and store for many years of use.

Craig will include a bit of history to highlight why we gardeners are so fortunate today, and a peek at his many 2023 garden projects. Learn how fun it is to save seeds, a practice that is as old as the dawn of agriculture!
