Winter Sowing at Wakeman Town Farm

Learn to make your own “mini-greenhouse” in a bottle to start seedlings. Leave it outside till spring, when you’ll reap a dozen or more native plants that pollinators love, to start in your garden. “If you grow it, they will come!”

Collect or save your bottles now: clear 1-litre or 2-litre soda bottles or translucent half gallon milk bottles are recommended. We’ll be sharing some special seeds sourced right in our ecoregion.

Taught by UConn advanced master gardener Alice Ely.
