Winter Seed Sow at Verrill Farm (Session 2), All Ages

January 11 @ 1:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Save the date for our fourth annual Winter Seed Sow Workshop hosted by Verrill Farm (11 Wheeler Road, Concord) and register for your spot!

In this free workshop, led by the Concord Pollinator Health Committee, we will learn how to sow seeds into milk jugs for easy, outdoor, over-wintering germination of native pollinator-supporting plants. To accommodate more people, we will offer demonstrations at 1 and 2:30. After attending a demonstration, participants will prepare the growing containers and plant seeds. Plan to browse our resource table and learn about plans for a local Pollinator Pathway, too!

What to bring:

Clean, translucent, and empty gallon milk jugs if you have them. Rinse and remove the cap. (Additional jugs will be provided.)
Gardening gloves (if desired)
Scissors. (The workshop will provide some to share.)
Duct Tape (we will have rolls circulating, too.)
Cardboard box, tray, or other container to take home jugs (We have some to share.)
Description of area where you’ll transplant your seedlings (shade, sun, partial sun/shade)
Families welcome (please register total number of attendees!)

This workshop is hosted by Verrill Farm, and it is a collaboration between the Concord Pollinator Health Committee, the CCHS Green Team and the Concord Free Public Library. It is made possible through a grant from the Garden Club of Concord.
