Black Isle Brewery, in partnership with the 'Seeds of Scotland' group, invites you to a unique experience in the heart of our organic garden.

An Introduction to Seed Saving in Scotland

Presented by: Seeds of Scotland

Organic tea, coffee and cake provided. Please bring weatherproof clothing and a packed lunch if required.

Time and Location: 10am to 2pm - Meet in the lecture room (ask for directions at the Black Isle Brewery shop if unable to find)

During this workshop, attendees will dive into an presentation that introduces the basic terminology and techniques of seed saving. Followed by practical demonstrations, attendees will witness firsthand the methods used by seasoned seed savers. An interactive group discussion and Q&A session will encourage attendees to share their thoughts, pose questions, and learn from fellow enthusiasts. And remember, whether you're a novice or an expert in seed saving, there's something for everyone to learn. We celebrate all levels of knowledge and curiosity, so don't hesitate to join regardless of your experience.

If you have any seeds or seedlings, feel free to bring them along! The event will wrap up with a seed swap and share session, an opportunity for participants to exchange and add to their personal collections.
