Seed Saving Packets

Saving your seeds for next years garden is a great way to save money, and share your garden with friends.  I’ve created these seed packet templates for you to use.  

I planted zinnias this year from seeds that I purchased from Botanical Interest.  They did great in our hot humid summer weather.

I picked this bouquet from the last of the flowers before our first frost.Saving zinnia seeds

I left some of the flower stalks in the garden so the birds can eat the seeds, or hopefully they will fall and reseed this spring. But just in case,  I clipped some to gather the dried seeds.

Use these packets to save your seeds.  They are also great for gift giving.  Tuck them in a gardener’s gift basket or stocking.
Instructions:
  1. Click on the link to pull up the template.  The template will open as a PDF in a separate page.
  2. Print off the PDF.  Be sure your printer is set to “actual size”
  3. A heavier weight copy paper will make a stronger seed packet
  4. Fold sides over and glue.
  5. Fold up the bottom and glue
  6. After you place your seeds in envelope, tape the top.
  7. Label with the name of the plant, and when collected.
  8. Collect more seeds and repeat!
