Seed Starting Workshop

Join Mari Hunt from Black Earth Gardens at the African American Museum of Iowa for a seed starting workshop!

Designed to teach gardeners how to start their own vegetable and herb plants from seed indoors for their own use, this expert-led workshop is suitable for experienced gardeners who are curious about indoor seed starting, are ready to begin starting their own transplants, or are already growing their own transplants but want to improve their skills and troubleshoot problems. The workshop will cover which plants you can start indoors, essential equipment & supplies, timing, watering, and avoiding common problems. Participants will learn from a professional vegetable farmer with years of experience growing transplants from seed for home gardeners and on-farm use. Participants will practice starting seeds and take home their own tray of started vegetable and herb seeds.
