Starting from Seed - The Basics

This workshop covers everything you need to know to launch a thriving warm-season garden in our region.

Seeds are potent little packages of potential, holding the entire future of your garden. Whether you are a first-time grower or a longtime steward of the land, join us for an inspiring session dedicated to the art of getting things growing! We will dive into:

• Best Practices: Master the essentials of sowing, cultivating healthy seedlings, and successful transplanting, including some helpful tips and tricks. 
• Hands-on Skills: Sow your own seeds to take home along with a year round growing guide for the Santa Cruz Bay area.
• Take Home Your Garden: Participants will pot-up seedlings and sow seeds to take home and grow for the coming season. Plus, additional seeds will be available courtesy of the Felton Library Friends!
