Join us for a fun hands-on workshop with ecologist Krista De Cooke, Director of Partnerships & Strategy at Homegrown National Park and creator of Krista Plants Native.
Krista will demystify the seed-starting process, sharing how she grew over 750 native plants at home last year. Learn about cold stratification, timing, and soil across direct, winter, and summer sowing methods.
The session concludes with a FREE hands-on winter sowing workshop where you’ll plant native seeds in recycled containers to take home! No experience required.

She holds an M.S. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and an MBA from the University of Tennessee. Through her work and her native plant gardening platform, Krista Plants Native, she focuses on making ecological gardening approachable and practical, especially for people who want to grow more native plants at home.
