We’re thrilled to be hosting this garden workshop with a focus on seed starting! This is such a fun winter project to get your garden started even earlier than it can outside. Starting your own garden seeds takes a little practice, some specific tools and we’re here to dive in to all of it!

This workshop is great for anyone who is hoping to jump start their garden this season by growing starts either inside under grow lights or in your own greenhouse. There are some different tools you’ll need depending on which route you’re going - and we’ll be sure to talk about both.

While we enjoy fresh scones and coffee, Kelly will teach you:

• how to start different kinds of vegetable and flower seeds

• you’ll learn about growing under grow lights as opposed to in a greenhouse

• how to care for your seeds and then seedlings as they mature over the coming weeks

• when to plant them out into the garden

• and how to transplant them

  Each Guest will:

  • Plant their own Seed Tray with their choice of flowers and/or vegetable seeds. We will have snapdragons, sweet pea flowers, strawflowers, bachelor buttons, spinach, snap peas, lettuce and kale for you to choose from

  • We’ll talk about seed planting depth, tap roots, cold stratification, how some seeds require light to germinate and others do not all so your seed trays will fill with little seedlings in just a week or so.

This workshop will take place inside - we’ll be cozy and warm in our main room.

If you would like to dive into even more gardening fun join us at the Get Your Garden Started Workshop in April! We’ll be spending more time on how to prep your garden bed, compost, direct sowing your seeds, drip systems and watering. Plus each guest will get our latest cottage garden map and seeds to plant in your garden. Details for this workshop will be available soon.

We look forward to getting our garden seeds started with you!
