About this Event

Think gardening season is winding down? Get a head start for next spring with winter sowing, a simple, budget-friendly way to grow native plants that pollinators love. All you need are recycled containers (like milk jugs), potting soil, and seeds. These mini greenhouses sit outside all winter, giving seeds the cold stratification they need to break dormancy. Come spring, you’ll have strong, hardy seedlings ready for transplanting, no indoor lights or heating mats required.
