Good Garden Talks: Winter Sowing

December 4 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm

| SLNC

If you have any questions regarding this program, please call the Nature Realm Visitors Center at 330-865-8065, Tuesday—Saturday, 10 am—5 pm, Sunday 12–5 pm.

Some call it the lazy way to start your seeds — we call this method smart and fun! Join us in collaboration with Let’s Grow Akron and OSU Extension to learn winter sowing. Grow your seedlings by planting seeds outdoors in vented containers to foster the naturally timed germination of climate-tolerant varieties.
