February 3, 2019 at 1:00 – 4:00 p.m.    Lake County Extension Office

Do you need plants for your garden or for a plant sale? Need to sow seeds? Need a way to sow seeds that doesn’t turn your dining room/ living room/ laundry room into a messy conglomeration of soil, lights and water stains? Need a way to start seeds without you kitty eating your sprouts or using the flat as a litter box? If you answered yes to any of these questions then Winter Sowing is the method for you! Please join us on Super Sow Sunday to get a jump start to your seed growing!

A short instructional lecture will be followed by hands on instruction on how to make winter sowing containers. Potting soil provided and some native flower seed will be available to share. This class is open to the public and will count as Advanced master gardener education so bring a friend!
