Get a Head Start on the Spring: Winter Sowing Made Easy!

Course | Registration opens 8/4/2025 8:00 AM EDT

Why wait until spring to get your garden growing? Embrace the magic of winter and

jump-start your next garden season now with winter sowing! Join us for a hands-on,

feel-good workshop that’s perfect for those chilly months when your garden’s in hibernation. You’ll learn how to give your plants an early jump on spring—while

keeping the gardening spirit alive through the winter. It's easy, rewarding, and, yes,

downright fun! Please bring six empty containers (like milk jugs or small plastic pots)

with drainage holes and a box to carry them home. Let’s make gardening a year-round

adventure! We can’t wait to see you there.
