First Thursday program - Winter Sowing

Anne Wilkes and Dan Hoebeke offer a hands-on demonstration of Winter Sowing, an easy, low-maintenance way of planting seeds for natural germination in the spring. If you wish to plant for yourself, bring clear or translucent jugs, e.g., milk/water jugs, vinegar jug, juice jug, or any other transparent or translucent container that will allow for at least 3” of soil on the bottom and 1-1/2” of space for seedling growth on the top. And, of course, seeds!
