This session will be a primer on sowing seeds for both adults and children, starting with a short presentation on the A-Z of seeds, covering children’s safety and equipment, plant anatomy, light needs, soil requirements, hardiness zones, days to maturity, and sowing methods. The majority of the session will be hands-on workshop led by Master Gardeners, Susan Kavy and Kathy Smith, on creative methods and mediums for planting seeds using seed tape and paper. In addition, there will be examples and take-away instructions on using recyclables and imagination to start seeds…all just in time for Spring!!
