Timing matters. Start too early and seedlings outgrow their pots. Start too late and you lose the advantage.
This workshop shows you how to plan your indoor seed starting around Edmonton's climate and last frost date.
➜ Instructor: Mattéa Bujold co-owns One Garden YEG and is a Master Composter Recycler. She teaches seed starting, composting, and garden planning at libraries, universities, and community associations across Edmonton.
