We learned so much about seed saving native plants at Tuesday's Seed Collecting Walk & Talk! 🌱

A huge thank you to Abby and Bill from Clean North for sharing their knowledge, seeds, and beautiful garden, and for guiding us through the process of ethically collecting seeds. We learned how to gather seeds responsibly and use them to create beautiful native gardens that support pollinators and strengthen local ecosystems. 🌼🐝

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this informative and inspiring morning!
