Stay curious by discovering something new with Hidden Oaks’ Adult Lecture Series. Join naturalists as they share fascinating stories, science and natural histories of the wild world. This time around we will be getting our hands dirty! We will study the importance of common milkweed — the host plant for the monarch butterfly and home to an assortment of other garden friends!

Learn the ins and outs of winter seed sowing. You can help provide the migrating monarch butterflies an advantage by getting a head start on gardening season with the winter sowing method. Participants will leave with an upcycled greenhouse ready to be put outside to endure the winter weather while waiting for spring to arrive.

Fee: Free!
Age: Ages 16 and older.

Registration required by Thursday, Feb. 5, by calling 815-722-4121 or online: https://anc.apm.activecommunities.com/fpdwc/activity/search/detail/9881?onlineSiteId=0&from_original_cui=true
