Gardening doesn’t end when the flowers die for the season.

Witnessing nature’s remarkable drive to procreate is one of my favorite parts of gardening

Each flower produces seeds for future generations. Saving and propagating your own seeds preserves the legacy of your favorite plants for years to come.

In Issue 25 we covered the basics of seed saving—prompting lots of questions on the subject (which I love, so reply to this email or DM with questions!).

Given the interest, I compiled all my tips in this free guide to make collecting your own seeds easy as pie!

The guide covers the basics of seed saving and how to get started in your own garden. This practice places you squarely in the composer role of your orchestral garden—while saving some money too!Find tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.

📺 What I’m watching

I am a season-specific movie watcher. And many of my favorites are best suited for September and October.

This week I kicked off my first watch (many more to come) of Fantastic Mr. Fox, and my craving for cider and nutmeg ginger apple snaps is at an all-time high.

🌸 Flower I’m admiring

The nasturtiums have started to take off, and there’s a particular variety I’m in love with.

It’s called ‘Tip Top Alaska Salmon,’ and the orange color is so vibrant—especially perfect as we gear up for Halloween! The leaves are shaped so sweetly, and are beautifully variegated.

I’ll be planting many more next year!
