Seeds in the Snow- Sterling

Just because it's cold out, doesn't mean you have to stop thinking about gardening! Join us on the second Monday of the month, January-March at the Sterling Public Library to prepare some seeds for spring even as the snow flies. Each session has a $5 supply fee. Open to all ages, a responsible adult must be present with youth 12 and under. Youth 12 and under are free with an adult registration.

Throw and Grows
