Seeding with the Seasons (seed starting with Dulce)

Interested in learning how to start seeding for the spring season? Join us for an interactive, hands-on workshop with local farmer and expert Dulce Morales, of Cedillo's Fresh Produce. Dulce will be leading the group on seeding spinach, onions, and radishes. Participants will also be able to select seeds available in our Firehouse Market. Materials will be provided, however we do encourage participants to bring their own pots if possible, or any container they would like to take their seedling home.

Participants can expect to learn how we seed in March, so they can start planting in April and harvesting by May. You'll also learn how to prepare their gardens in early spring.

* This workshop is kid-friendly and Spanish translating is available.
