Seed Starting and SoilSHOP

Are you interested in trying your hand at gardening this year? Attend our Seed Starting workshop to learn the basics of starting your plants from seeds. Whether you have acres and acres or a small container in your kitchen, starting from seed can be a cost effective way to grow your garden. Participants will take home some started seedlings.

– fill 2 – 3 cups
– have rocks and plants removed
