MORE INFO
Celebrate the close of harvest with a day of seed and song!
Learn a brand new song inspired by the seed harvest, composed by local
growers with songwriter Jane Lewis and taught to us by song leader Sarah
Coleman.
Enjoy delicious hot soup, fresh bread and salads, and share our stories,
experiences with growing, and strategies for growing in the Scottish
climate.
And join a practical and hands-on session to process the seeds deposited
in Glasgow Seed Library this year. Learn about different harvest
techniques, dry seed winnowing, wet seed fermenting, storage and
labelling. If you have some, please bring your seeds to be processed: pea, bean and brassica pods should be dried and crispy for podding; tomatoes and
peppers can be brought as whole fruits; squash and courgette should be
left on the plant until they harden into gourds and marrows; cucumbers
should be left on the vine till they mature and turn yellow, wildflower,
lettuce and other seeds should be gathered as whole dried seed heads.
