Have you ever considered starting your spring plants from seed and just donโ€™t have the room inside? Would you like to learn a new way that does not involve grow lights, heat mats, etc.?โ 
Join us as we demonstrate winter sowing, a simple way to start your seeds outdoors. You do not need a greenhouse or any special equipment; instead, we use recycled milk jugs that act as a โ€œgreenhouseโ€ which allows the seed to get started in a more natural environment.โ 
โ 
โญ You will take home your own starter jug with seeds as well as instructions to continue your winter sowing project at home. โญโ

Registration is not required to attend, but space is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
