Starting plants from seed is always a glorious act of faith on the part of all gardeners.  But it is nearly always worth taking those first steps. This outdoor workshop will be devoted to planting a wide variety of seeds, both annuals and select perennials, and sharing our collective wisdom on some of the best practices to employ so that growing success is more likely.  We will try to address the variables that might impact the seeds during germination, what we might do to protect the emerging sporophytes of these flowering plants as they progress and become true leaves, or how we might help their roots to develop and strengthen.  Finally, while we won’t be doing any transplanting of young plants in this workshop, we will spend a little time talking about how, why and when it might best to step up to a new container for the young plants.  No experience is needed but sharing of information and experiences will be encouraged. 

Free to members; $10 non-members. Reservations required, email info@thefells.org or call the office at 603-763-4789 x3 or to reserve your space. Meets at the new Nursery Glasshouse at the Pavilion.
