Getting Started with Seeds

Curious about growing your own food but not sure where to start? This hands-on workshop is designed for beginners who want to understand seeds and plants before the growing season begins.

Together, we’ll explore the basics of seed selection and help you make confident choices for your garden—whether you’re growing in the ground, raised beds, containers, or a small space at home.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• The difference between annual and perennial plants
• Open-pollinated vs hybrid seeds—what they mean and why it matters
• Organic vs conventional seeds
• How to read and understand a seed packet
• Where to buy seeds, including local and online sources
• How to choose seeds that suit your climate, space, and experience level
• How to plan what to grow based on your lifestyle, taste, and available time

This workshop is open to anyone—no gardening experience required. It’s a great introduction for those considering growing food this season and for anyone interested in learning more about an upcoming community garden program running throughout the growing season.

Come with curiosity, leave with clarity and confidence to start your garden from seed.
