# Event Details - **Event Name**: Milk Jug Greenhouse Workshop: Winter seed sowing and seed cleaning - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 09 Jan, 2026 at 02:00 pm – Fri, 09 Jan, 2026 at 04:00 pm - **Event Description**: Turn trash into treasure! Join our Milk Jug Greenhouse workshop clean native seeds and start your spring garden outdoors now!About this EventFocus: Native Plants & Winter VegetablesDon't let the winter chill stop your gardening! Join us for a hands-on workshop where we transform everyday recyclables into powerful mini-greenhouses. This "winter sowing" technique uses the natural freeze-thaw cycle to sprout hardy seeds outdoors, giving you a head start on spring without the need for indoor grow lights or expensive equipment.What We’ll Do:Seed Cleaning 101: Learn the proper techniques to clean and prep native plant seeds for successful germination.The Milk Jug Hack: Master the art of upcycling plastic milk jugs into durable, self-watering mini-greenhouses.The Winter Sowing Method: Discover which native perennials and winter vegetables thrive with this "set it and forget it" outdoor method.Take it Home: Build your own greenhouse during the session to kickstart your 2026 garden.Why This Works:Winter sowing mimics nature. By placing your seeds in milk jugs outside now, you allow them to undergo natural stratification (cold treatment). When the weather warms, your jugs act as tiny incubators, producing "tough-as-nails" seedlings that are already hardened off and ready for the ground.What to Bring: Just yourself and a water bottle, maybe gloves if you don't like to get your hands dirty with potting media!Accommodation StatementIn compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, N.C.
