Learn how to start the seeds for a cut flower garden and enjoy vibrant blooms and beautiful bouquets all summer long. In this hands-on class, participants will select and plant their chosen seeds while learning about the many benefits of locally grown flowers.With expert guidance, you'll gain the knowledge needed to successfully grow your chosen flowers and take home approximately 20 planted seeds, along with detailed care and transplanting instructions. The class will also cover different at-home seed-starting methods and where to source quality seeds.
Class Notes: Flower selections will be best for an area that gets 6+ hours of direct sunlight each day. All of the seedlings can be transplanted into large pots, containers, raised beds, or an in-ground garden. All supplies are included, but you are welcome to bring your own garden gloves.

Community Instructor: Becca Mathews, River Bend Homestead
Becca has a degree in Environmental Biology, and her passion for sharing this love of nature has hooked her into the field of Environmental Education. In the fall of 2023, Becca shifted the setting of her educational work by starting her own flower farm. A lot of emphasis has been put on the importance of sustainable food and meat production and Becca is trying to bring that same focus to flower production on her farm. Through programming surrounding her flowers and nature, Becca strives to inspire everyone to take the steps toward planting their first seeds, and learning to grow flowers and food of their own in symbiosis with the natural world.
