My Thoughts

The Complete Guide to Saving Seeds is a really extensive guide for learning about saving and storing seeds. The authors don’t just explain how to save seeds though; they also explain how to use these seeds to grow herbs, vegetables, and flowers in your own garden.

If you just want to learn how to save seeds on a certain type of plant, you can easily find it in the reference portion of the guide. Not everything is listed, but the majority of the type of plants that you’d want to grow is included.

This is an easy to read and follow guide. If you have a love for gardening already, or you want to get started, this is a really great book to read and reference back to often. I highly recommend it.
