Winter Seed Sow Workshop at Verrill Farm

Sunday, January 221:00—2:30 PMOther

In this free workshop at Verrill Farm, led by Isabel Bailey of the Concord Pollinator Health Advisory Committee, we will learn how to sow seeds into milk jugs for easy, outdoor, over-wintering germination of native pollinator-supporting plants. After a brief demonstration, participants will prepare the growing containers and plant seeds. 

What to bring: 

  • Any seeds you have collected that you wish to sow. Additional seeds/species will be available at the workshop. 
  • Clean, translucent, and empty milk gallon jugs if you have them. (Additional jugs will be provided.)
  • Gardening gloves (if desired)
  • Scissors and/or box cutters (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 Advisory Committee, the CCHS Green Team, the Concord Land Conservation Trust, the Natural Resources Division, and the Concord Free Public Library.
