The Austin Parks and Recreation Department is organizing a Community Seed Share event at the Turner Roberts Recreation Center. Scheduled for Saturday, September 13, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the event aims to engage the public in gardening activities and education.
Attendees can expect a lecture on crop varieties suited to local climates, along with opportunities for seed swapping. The event will also feature cooking demonstrations and workshops on seed saving. Educational materials will be available in English, Spanish, and Mandarin.
Key activities include a lecture starting at 10 a.m., ongoing seed swaps until 2 p.m., and two sessions each of cooking demonstrations and seed-saving workshops between noon and 1:45 p.m. Participation in these sessions requires advance registration due to limited spots—20 for cooking demos and 30 for workshops.
For those interested in attending or learning more about community gardening initiatives, further details are available at AustinTexas.gov/CommunityGardens.
