Seed-Saving Tools

Page:
  1. Germination Papers

    These professional germination papers will provide much more accurate germination results. Paper towels are often chemically-treated, which can hamper germination. This kit contains: 20 sheets of fine,5" x 7.5" germination paper (for small to medium-sized seeds); 10 sheets of 7.5" x 10" heavy duty germination paper (for beans, peas, etc) and 5 sheets of 6" x 4.75" germination blotter paper for testing seeds like lettuce that need light exposure.

  2. Glassine Envelopes

    These are the high quality glassines that we use ourselves. Measuring 1.75" by 2.75", they are open at the narrow end (meaning seeds won't spill out) and have a centre seam. Excellent for storing small and medium-sized seeds.

  3. Book
    How to Save Your Own Seed

Easy to read, it covers basic seed-saving principles such as adequate isolation to prevent cross-pollination, germination-testing and storing.
