Traditionally, seed saving workshops are help in person, and seed swapping is known to happen.

But 91Ô­´´ Environmental Partners Society (LEPS) is taking the concept virtual due to COVID.

LEPS is hosting an in-person Zoom meeting Monday evening where organizers will explain how it’s not too late in the season t be saving some seeds from the garden.
