The Richmond Grows Seed Lending Library is offering a free seed-saving class from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 30, to teach the community about how to successfully save seeds from produce you've grown (or would like to grow) in your garden.

Growing your own food is not only incredibly satisfying (what's more fun than sinking your teeth into a delicious tomato, warm off the vine, that you yourself nurtured from a tiny seed?), --It's also amazingly economical compared to buying fresh produce from grocery stores or farmers' markets.
