The Bay of Islands BayCare Group have organised a:

Native Seed Native Seed Collecting Workshop
- All welcome -

10 am Sunday 17th April

The idea is to have a fun "hands on" workshop involving - 

• Identification of native species, particularly key riparian species and their seed collection dates
• Seed collection techniques and demonstrations
• Preparing seed for storage
• Storage of seed
• Labeling / Eco-sourcing
• Sowing techniques
• Practical "hands on" potting up of plants, using Toetoe and Koromiko for the BayCare "Living Streams" Project as the practical material
• There will be handouts on basic collection information and species collection time frames

Anybody with any interest in native plant propagation and seed collection is very welcome to come along - bring gardening gloves and lunch to share at the end of the workshop.
