Join us on Saturday, January 18th as we learn how to grow plants and make our own native pollinator gardens using the winter sowing method!
On the 18th, we'll be learning all about plant life during the wintertime and beginning to grow our own gardens using native plants. Many native plant seeds need a period of cold, moist stratification to germinate. By planting them now, you let nature do the work for you!

What to Bring: A clean, transparent milk jug to create your own miniature greenhouse to take home.
What We Provide: Soil, seeds, and step-by-step instructions.

It won't just be Kidzeum staff here to help you learn all about plant life - we'll have plenty of help from our friends at the Illinois Native Plant Society, Starhill Forest Arboretum, and the Springfield Audubon Society too.
Drop in any time between 10:30 AM and 2:00 PM to plant your seeds - and learn all about plant life through activities, crafts, and presentations that'll be here throughout the day!
