August 8, 2015—Hawai‘i SEED and Slow Food in Hawai‘i are hosting a seed saving and cleaning workshop especially for people who are already conducting seed exchanges on O‘ahu. The general public is invited as well. Lyn Howe from The Kohala Center’s Hawai‘i Public Seed Initiative will share her expertise on seed saving and sharing. She will share tips on the best ways to save, clean, and store seeds and talk about how to navigate HPSI’s Seed Variety Selection Tool map and database to discover optimal plants for O‘ahu’s plant hardiness zones.

This event presents an opportunity to develop a master plan for seed exchanges and to increase publicity and support.
