Description
Join us on October 8, 2024, from 5:30 to 7:00 PM at the Ornithology Center (OC) to learn how to prepare native plant seeds in the fall for germination over the winter, to support wildlife, especially birds! Join for a brief presentation followed by a garden tour, then practice separating pre-collected seeds & build two germination containers, one for the center and one for you to take home!
Containers created by participants for the OC will be planted in the wildlife gardens in the spring. Participants can take home a own seed container of their own as well to observe the final stages of germination and to plant at their own homes!
Preregistration is required, $15/participant. This program is geared towards adults with an interest in gardening with native plants, youth ages 12+ are welcome to register with their adult guardian.
All materials will be provided. Participants are encouraged to bring a clean plastic container (think plastic milk jug, gallon or half or 2L soda bottle) to utilize in the workshop.
