workshop details

Dig in early by starting your seeds indoors!

Growing your own seedlings can save you money and allow you to grow a larger variety of plants than you might find at the store. But starting seeds indoors can be tricky. This workshop will ensure you start your garden off strong!

We’ll cover:

• What you need to build your own seed starting kit

• Which crops are best started indoors in our climate

• How to plant seeds, with a hands on lesson

What’s included:

This is a hands-on workshop. The cost of this workshop covers containers, soil, seeds, and plant tags for each participant to plant 6 - 12 plants that you can take home in addition to the slides and resources provided in the lecture. Participants are welcome to bring their own seed starting trays and seeds.
