Master the art of seed saving to sustain your garden for future seasons
In short: Matthew Oliver, a horticulturist at RHS Garden Hyde Hall, demonstrates the practical techniques for collecting seeds from your own crops. This guide offers a sustainable way to maintain your garden while connecting with the long-standing horticultural traditions of the Royal Horticultural Society.
Seed saving allows gardeners to preserve the genetic lineage of their favorite plants, ensuring a continuous cycle of growth. By harvesting seeds directly from your harvest, you gain independence from commercial suppliers and learn the life cycle of your crops firsthand.
The Royal Horticultural Society, established in 1804, promotes this practice as part of its mission to advance the science and art of horticulture. Engaging in seed saving is a core component of the society's commitment to inspiring passion and excellence in gardening practices worldwide.
