Seed-sharing time

Ahead of the winter-planting season, the city of Austin is hosting a free community seed share on Saturday.

Why it matters: It's your chance to hold in your hand the seemingly magical building blocks of plants — and meet fellow Austin gardeners.

What's happening: The event features a lecture on local climate-adapted crop varieties. It also includes:

• A seed swap
• Cooking demonstrations.
• Seed-saving workshops.

📍 If you go: The seed share runs 10am to 2pm at Turner Roberts Recreation Center in East Austin.

• Advance registration is required for the workshops and cooking demos.

🎧 What we're listening to: "Plant a Radish" from "The Fantasticks," by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt — who met in 1950 at the University of Texas.
