Seed Savers Academy
Seeds are not all alike. Some tolerate drying, some must be sown or handed over within days. Each guide below goes live only after a qualified reviewer signs it off. Until then we show the name only — and we ask you to hand fresh seeds over quickly rather than guess.
Seven steps every donor follows
- Identify — know the tree; a common name is not a confirmed species.
- Collect — mature, healthy material, with permission.
- Clean & prepare — only as the species guide says.
- Handle & preserve — never assume “sun-dry everything”.
- Pack & label — species, date collected, quantity.
- Donate & transfer — list it with a realistic deadline.
- Grow & monitor — campus plants it and tags the tree.
