Seed Starting for Home Gardeners with Jason The Backyard Farmer

Seed starting doesn’t have to be complicated—or expensive. This beginner-focused class teaches simple, repeatable seed starting systems that work for real home gardeners.

Through a mix of instruction, demonstration, and guided participation, you’ll learn how to start seeds outdoors using winter sowing techniques and indoors under grow lights. More importantly, you’ll actively build a seed starting strategy that aligns with your space, schedule, and growing goals.

Led by Jason Kamp (@jasonthebackyardfarmer on Instagram), professional market farmer and avid home gardener, this class emphasizes practical decision-making, realistic timelines, and proven methods so you can stop guessing and start growing your own plants with confidence.
