Last year we braved the elements to hold our Winter Seed Sowing event outdoors at the Nokomis Naturescape. This year we're partnering with Wood Lake Nature Center naturalists. We’ll be cozy inside and fireside, looking out at the beautiful marsh landscape!
Join us for this family-friendly event, and get a jump-start on your 2023 habitat garden.
We’ll hold mini workshops to go over winter sowing basics. Table stations will offer the basic supplies of containers*, soil, water and seeds.
A number of pollinator garden seeds will be freely available, including milkweeds and blazing stars. Wood Lake Nature Center is also offering a variety of native grasses. ‘The more the merrier’, so we encourage people to bring their collected native seeds to sow and share.
Please label with the following information:
• Species Botanical/Latin name
• Common Name
• Seed Source/Location
* While translucent containers will be available, as supply last, we encourage people to bring, if possible. Clear liquid 1 or 1.5 gallon jugs (as used for water, milk, vinegar) and large, salad containers with lids work well. We can puncture drainage holes at the event.
