Seed Starting Workshop

Learn how to start your own seeds with a few basic supplies, just in time for your Spring garden!

SUMMARY:

You will learn the basics of seed starting as well as how to manage seedlings once they have sprouted. We'll touch on soil science, indoor growing, watering needs, pest/disease management, and other plant care info. Explore our seed library to cultivate a custom selection for your garden.

WHAT YOU'LL TAKE HOME: You will go home with your own seeded plant pots that you sow yourself during the workshop. This includes a humidity dome, pots, soil, and seeds. You will be able to choose from a selection of vegetable, flower, and herb seeds. Everyone will go home with some extra seeds to continue sowing at home. Everyone will receive our workshop packet with more detailed information on seeding and plant care as well as a list of resources to explore.

AFTER CARE:

Before signing up, make sure that you will be able to provide the proper "after care" at home for your seedlings following the workshop. You must have a place to store your plants indoors, in the event of severe or below freezing weather. This could be a garage, a heated greenhouse, mud room, etc. Grow lights are not required unless you plan on storing your plants indoors during the day or for multiple days at a time. You will also need to transfer your seedlings into larger pots or into your garden once they have outgrown their original pots.

PAYMENT AND CANCELLATIONS:

Please make sure you will be able to attend before submitting payment, as we will not be issuing refunds for cancellations UNLESS we are able to fill your spot. You are also welcome to send someone in your place, if you run into any last minute issues. You may also pick up your workshop materials at a later date, if you are not able to attend.
