Join Seed Harvest Event in Witten on Sept 27th

Join the Naturschutzgruppe Witten - Biologische Station e.V. for an 'events near me' seed harvest event on September 27th, from 11 am to 2 pm, at 117 Ruhrstraße. This event promotes crop diversity and allows you to harvest seed from various plants, including tomatoes, garden sorrel, Swiss chard, and wildflowers.

The Great Seed Library Project, a collaboration with the VEN, Witten 'library near me', and Gühnemann-Kotten e.V., encourages seed 'savers'. These 'open-pollinated' seeds can be reproduced and are more adaptable to climate change. The project allows donated seeds to be 'loaned out' in the spring, with successful harvests returned in the fall.

The event, held in the water protection area, is easily accessible by public transportation or bike. Start your visit with garden tours at 11:30 am or 1 pm. At 12 pm, participate in a seed workshop to learn more about the project and its benefits.

The seed harvest event on September 27th offers a chance to contribute to crop diversity and learn about sustainable gardening. By harvesting and donating seeds, you help maintain the Great Seed Library Project, promoting adaptability to climate change and preserving plant variety.
