Planning to do an activity with greens and holiday themed decorations.
| Including native plants in your garden is a great way to help pollinators. Expand your native plantings inexpensively by growing them yourself from seed. We will discover the germination requirements for different kinds of seeds. We’ll plant and bring home a plastic milk jug filled with a seed selection to stratify over the winter. Proper after care will be discussed. Bring a clear (translucent), one-gallon plastic milk or water jug; we will supply the soil and seeds.
Jim Sirch is a CT Hort Board member, master gardener, and the Education Coordinator at Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History. |
