We document our annual seed-harvesting process: seeds saved from the meadow are used for more planting the following year, supporting a closed-loop approach to meadow expansion.
Harvesting guidance covers timing, how to identify ready seed heads, low-impact collection, drying and storage, and sowing windows for the following season.
Seed collection supports propagation, local adaptation over time, and lower reliance on purchased seed as we expand to new sites — demonstrating ongoing stewardship beyond initial sowing.
The approach advocates leaving the majority of seed for self-seeding and wildlife consumption, consistent with biodiversity-supportive practice.
