Winter Sowing Hands-on Workshop

Description

Join Us for a Winter Sowing Adventure

Does the thought of digging into the soil have your fingers itching for spring? Then don’t miss this Winter Sowing class! Seats are limited. 

In this hands-on session, you’ll learn about the magic of seed cold stratification, why it’s nature’s secret germination trick for many plants, and step-by-step winter sowing techniques to ensure success. Learn the best seeds to winter-sow, timing tips, and more. The best part is you’ll leave with your very own winter sowing container (a mini greenhouse in fact)—planted by you and ready to grow! 

All supplies, seeds, and instructions are included. You are welcome to bring any seeds you prefer to sow (the type of seed/plant creates the success). Recommended seed/plant list below. Space is limited to 20 participants. Class costs $25.00 + card processing fees may be passed to attendee ($2.38). 

A great technique for echinacea, rudbeckia, milkweed, poppies, pansies, lupine, snapdragons, and yarrow; kale, cauliflower, bok choy, cabbage, broccoli, spinach, chard, onions, chives, rosemary, lavender, Annis hyssop, thyme, sage and parsley. Tropical/warm season crops aren't suggested.
