Winter Sowing Event

Winter is the perfect time to start native plants from seed. Join us to learn the winter sowing method, a simple technique that uses natural freeze–thaw cycles to break seed dormancy. In this workshop, Ainsley Olsen will cover the benefits of native plants, seed selection, and step-by-step winter sowing techniques. Participants will create and take home a winter-sown container to nurture into spring.

Please plan to bring gallon jugs, seed-starting flat, or other light-permeable containers for starting in and any native seeds you specifically want to start.
