We’re looking at a new way to Winter Sow!
This outdoor form of seed starting is becoming extremely popular due to the number of gardeners finding success in the practice. We’ll discuss how the process works and the most successful types of seeds. Participants can bring 1 empty and clean gallon milk jug, recycled take out container, or use one of our provided trays. Participants will take home either a milk jug or tray with soil and seeds to continue the winter sowing project at home.

What is Winter Sowing?
This is a simple way to sow seeds outdoors for the upcoming gardening season. This method is pretty hands-off and not as labor-intensive as starting seeds indoors. What kind of seeds? Think perennials, herbs, early-season veggies, some annuals
We’ll show both the milk jug option and the small pots in a tote option.
Please bring: milk jugs or similar containers , potting soil, seeds to share.

Let’s put together gifts from the garden including saved seeds, teas made from herbs and plants in our gardens and lots of examples of how we can all share this important part of us with the ones we love.
