TONIGHT (Jan 28) @ 7PM: Cultivating Tradition - A "hands-on" seed saving workshop led by agricultural experts! Free admission!

Join urban farmer Karen Washington and a diverse panel of gardeners, agriculturalists, and heirloom horticulturists for an interactive discussion about seed saving! Seed saving is a traditional method of harvesting seeds for the next growing season, retaining biodiversity and protecting plant variety. As large corporations try to colonize this natural resource, agricultural visionaries are leading a movement striving to bring seed issues to the forefront.

No matter your level of gardening expertise, all are welcome to participate in this hands-on evening in the Cathedral's Chapel of St. James.

PANELISTS:
Owen Taylor, Roughwood Seed Collection
Ken Greene, Hudson Valley Seed Library
Onika Abraham, Farm School NYC
Chris Bolden Newsome, Community Farm and Food Resource Center at Bartram's Garden
Kirtrina Baxter, Garden Justice Legal Initiative (of the Public Interest Law Center of Philadelphia)
Karen Washington, Rise & Root Farm

This event is part of the public programming for The Value of Food: Sustaining a Green Planet, on view until April 3, 2016.

This event is free and open to the public; however, we ask that you please RSVP at bit.ly/1UzACLP.
