Seed Saver's Club
Saving seeds from plants in your environment is a simple yet important skill to learn. The students will learn the proper method of harvesting seeds from specific plants. They will germinate some of these seeds and package and market the rest. Students may wish to research different planting and farming methods to study the practicality, economics, and desirability of seed saving in different situations.
