Seed collection…hot on the heels of the 2024 planting season, the TfS Propagation Coordinator is already looking at the coordination of seed collection for the 2025 season. Each TfS facilitator is tasked with providing an indication of the planting site and plant species each of their schools may require for the 2025 season. This then informs the plant species and amount of seed required in each region with ‘shopping lists’ of the required eco sourced seed going out to specialist collectors in each region. Once collected, seed needs to be cleaned, sorted, weighed and stored correctly before being collated and sent to the nurseries for germination.
