Wild Dreams Farm & Seed Tour with Jennifer Williams - Sept. 2024
Harvest tomato seeds for replanting, start by selecting ripe, healthy tomatoes. Cut the tomatoes in half and scoop out the seeds along with the gel. Place the seeds in a container with water and let them ferment about 2-3 days, stirring occasionally. After fermentation, rinse the seeds to remove any remaining gel and spread them out to dry completely before storing them in a cool, dark place for future planting.

​​Jewellgarden's mission is to explore and celebrate a deeper connection to the world around us through the cultivation of our gardens.
Jennifer Jewell, the founder of Jewellgarden and Cultivating Place, achieves this mission through her writing, photographs, exhibits about and advocacy for gardens & natural history and through her weekly public radio program and podcast Cultivating Place: Conversations on Natural History and the Human Impulse to Garden, on gardens as integral to our natural and cultural literacy.
