As we edge towards the end of the growing season, many plants are slowing down and reaching the end of their lifecycle. Both annuals and perennials produce an abundance of seed during this time, and there's often more than enough for you to collect, save, and grow free plants next year.
Collecting seeds and growing your own plants is not only highly satisfying and cost-effective, but it can also help you reduce any associated packaging waste and emissions when buying seed. You can stock up on paper envelopes from Amazon to store them correctly over winter until it's time to plant in spring. These are also great for gifting to family and friends to start their own garden.
