In addition to all the practical reasons you suggested, I also find seed saving to be a way to work against the industrial food and agricultural systems. Just as growing my own food, cooking from scratch and buying local, saving seeds, buying from small growers, and participating in seed swaps are ‘radical’ ways to step outside the system.

Hey Anna, thanks for stopping by! Excellent point about the open-pollinated plants. I updated the article to mention that. 🙂

Thanks, Carole! I’m glad to have a visitor as seed obsessed as we are! It is definitely a skill worth passing along, and I hope my kiddos learn to love gardening as much as we do. 🙂

I’ve been doing this since I was a kid each garden season so it’s just a natural thing to incorporate. Good habits taught from Grandma just never retire. Great tips enjoyed!!

For me it it starts with growing open pollinated plants. Thank you for your great info, pinned it.
