Seed Sowing Workshop with Wild Seed Project

Come join us to learn about the diverse plants that grow here in Maine and their unique seed collection and seed sowing processes. In this workshop, Wild Seed Project staff will facilitate a hands-on exploration of the many steps of growing native plants from seed, and establishing your own diverse, pollinator-friendly garden using seed-grown plants. Weather permitting, the class will begin outside with a walk, identifying different plants in the area and demonstrating ecologically-responsible seed collecting practices for those plants. For the second part of the workshop, we will practice fall seed sowing and talk through the best practices for keeping your seeds outside for the winter. Each participant will sow two pots of seeds; one to take home with them, and one to stay at Burbank Branch Library to add to the Community Seed Garden!
