Event Details

Join us in the Grice Community Room for a presentation on seed collecting from the Marlborough Garden Club! 

Saving seeds is a great way of preserving plants that perform well in this area, and also getting next year’s plants for free. Learn how to tell if a plant will “breed true”, and also how to collect and preserve seeds for next year’s garden and harvest.
