At this session you will learn the ins and outs of winter sowing native plant seeds. You provide milk jug or salad container recyclables and we will show you how to transform them into mini-greenhouses in this oh-so-adaptable method of seed starting. We will provide soil, seeds, tools, and other supplies for you to create up to 3 winter sowing greenhouses to take home. 

Additional locally grown, adapted native seeds will also be available to take home for more winter sowing fun. You will learn about the specific needs that native pollinator plant seeds require, like cold stratification and scarification.
