Coming to Woodlawn . . .

seed saving class

Biodiversity "On the Cheap"

Classes to teach seed-saving skills and techniques

Woodlawn will be hosting classes on preserving the natural biodiversity of our area AND saving you money by saving your valuable vegetable and fruit seeds.

Bill Griffin, area native and owner of Griffins Organics, will be instructing class members on how to save garden and farm seeds safely and inexpensively-- stretching your hard earned dollars and helping preserve the great tasting food you grow through many years.

The seed saving classes will be held at Woodlawn Nature Center Sunday evenings from 6-8 pm. Classes will begin Sunday, July 11th, and will run for six weeks. The cost will be $50 and will include a book devoted to how to save seeds from a vast variety of vegetables and fruits ("Seed to Seed"), plenty of hands-on experience in actual seed saving (some of the seeds you will have actually saved during the class), plus an open invitation to Woodlawn's first ever seed sale/swap (sell/swap some of the seeds you yourself have saved). And, as a special bonus, you will receive a free family membership in Woodlawn Nature Center through December 31, 2010.

Current Woodlawn members who wish to attend will receive a discount on the class price.

Family membership at Woodlawn means that you, and your immediate family will receive:

  • Discounts on all Woodlawn's special programs/classes
  • Free admission to Woodlawn's, twice monthly, family game night
  • Discounts on the rental of Woodlawn Nature Center for your large get-togethers, AND
  • The fun in knowing that you are a part of the only natural history museum in the Michiana area.

To reserve your seat in the class, call Bill Griffin at 269-663-2009 (local call from Elkhart).
