Planting in groups (pollinator patches) rather than single plants increases visibility and allows pollinators to utilize resources more efficiently. To support a diverse range of species\, it is important to ensure a mix of plants that bloom from early spring through late fall. How could you obtain that many plants? The answer is winter sowing! \nWinter sowing is an easy\, inexpensive\, and eco-friendly method to grow these plants efficiently. Seeds are sown in milk jugs during winter and left outdoors to germinate\, allowing them to adapt naturally to the local climate. Please see the flyer for more details on this workshop led by EAC member Anjana Vidyadharan who will share her experiences as a local gardener. Gay Lacy\, RML staff member and backyard gardener\, reminds us that growing seeds is not difficult when basic growing information is provided. Anjana and Gay look forward to teaching residents that eating homegrown\, wholesome food is beneficial for a healthy community! \nPlease bring a cleaned milk jug and seeds of your choice to learn how to grow hardy perennials from seed and successfully establish them in your garden. \n\n\nRegistration is required. There are 17 seats available.
