SEED SAVING and GRAIN CULTURE
A special one-day Workshop/Celebration for experienced gardeners

Presented by Ecosprit, a California non-profit community group dedicated to 
care of the Earth and all its inhabitants

*Includes Gourmet Organic Lunch by Andrea Rolston of Temple Cuisine*

Ecological nutrition depends upon local community protection of plant
genetic heritage through seed saving and culture. During this unique
hands-on event, we will learn how to select, process, and grow the
healthiest seed available. We will practice these skills and each
participant receives his/her own valuable collection of organic,
locally-grown seed to enjoy this ancient heritage in their homes and
gardens.

Co-taught by:

Lorenz Schaller, director of the Kusa Research Foundation and respected as 
our bioregion's most knowledgable organic grain culture expert. The unique 
seedbank which Lorenz stewards is living testimony of ancient human 
partnership with nourishing plants.

Akiva Werbalowsky, grower of the most varied food and medicine gardens
in our bioregion, founder of the California State University Permaculture 
Program, and perennial organizer of community seed exchanges.
