Bring some sunshine into your winter by planning your spring garden!

Did you know you can sow seeds as early as February? In this workshop, participants will learn about different seed sowing methods, soil selection, and garden planning. Then you’ll get hands-on experience planting your own batch of seeds in winter sowing containers.

Everyone will go home with their own sowing container and instructions on how to maintain the seeds until they’re ready to transplant for spring. All supplies are included and all levels are welcome!
