Seeds and More Seeds: Collection, Cleaning, Storage, and Sowing Strategies
10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Seeds are all around us, from the tiniest of grass seeds to autumn’s numerous acorns…and everything in between. This workshop will travel through the seasons as we encounter particular plant groups and the best strategies for future crops. Emphasis will be placed on local and regional native species – spring ephemerals, warm-season flowering perennials, woody species, grasses and sedges.Participants will also sow out their own mix of seeds in a 128 cell flat to take home for cold stratification and spring garden planting!
Supplies provided per participant:
- 1 128 cell seedling starter flat
- 1 slotted carrier flat
- seedling mix for flat
- grit for seed covering
- seed of 12 different species to choose from – flowering perennials and grasses.
