In this session, we’ll learn the art of harvesting, cleaning, and storing seeds.

You’ll explore how to preserve local biodiversity, save money, and ensure a beautiful harvest for next year. Perfect for gardeners of all experience levels!

Chelsea Boos has been nurturing plants with her mom, Sandra, since she was a little sprout. A lifelong resident of amiskwaciy, she grows climate‑adapted, open‑pollinated, and organically cultivated plants rooted in the northern prairie Aspen parkland along the kisiskâciwani‑sîpiy (North Saskatchewan River). Her gardening practice is grounded in care for community, ecology, and the relationships that sustain life on the land.
