Nesbitt will explain the importance of regeneration of heirloom varieties on biodiversity. She will provide information on what seed to start if a home gardener wants to save seeds, how to design a garden for seed saving and how to store seeds to keep them viable. She also will provide resources for exchanging seeds.
