A Native Plant Seed Starting Workshop!

Saturday January 18, 2025 at 2:00 p.m.

Growing native plants in your yard is essential for supporting pollinators and birds. To start a native plant garden, you can buy plants or you can start seeds and grow them yourselves.  It takes a little longer, but it is much cheaper (and more fun) to grow them from seeds. 

Join us for a presentation on the importance of native plants and how to grow them in your yard.  Then we will do some “winter sowing” together. We will be planting seeds in gallon jug greenhouses so that you can plant the plants in your yard this spring.

We will provide native plant seeds and soil.  Please bring clean used gallon jugs (the kind that water and milk come in) to use to plant your seeds. 

Please plan on attending this interesting and timely workshop. It is FREE and open to the public. Invite your friends and bring your family. All are welcome. 

This workshop will be led by Stirling Cousins, a member of the FUSF Sustainable Native Landscape Team.  Stirling is a Lay member of FUSF and has a background in biology, environmental science and teaching. She is a certified Field Naturalist in both New York and Massachusetts.  She has created native plant gardens in six home and business settings.
