🌱 Presentation & Workshop 🌱Many seeds need a cold period to germinate, and gardeners can reuse plastic containers to create a protected environment ideal for sowing seeds outdoors in winter that will germinate as the weather warms. Participants will learn what kinds of seeds can be winter sown (natives and veggies), as well as when and how to sow them, including seed stratification and scarification. Following a presentation and demonstration, participants can create their own mini greenhouses using 2-quart juice bottles. Some juice bottles as well as select seeds and soil will be provided.
Presented by Claudia Schultz, Master Gardener Lead for the Native Locktenders Garden in De Pere, along with Peggy Loritz, Annette Weissbach and Kathy Amenson, also from Northeastern Wisconsin Master Gardeners.
