Winter Sowing: Starting Natives from Seed

×

Expand

Winter sowing is a simple, low-care way to provide the best conditions for native seeds to germinate into seedlings using a process called stratification. In spring, transplant the seedlings into small pots to grow them larger before they go into the ground.

Extension Master Gardener and Master Naturalist Sara Scheil will help you create and plant an outdoor native seed-starting container to take home. All materials and tools will be provided; a modest collection of native plant seeds will be available. You are welcome to bring your own collected native seeds as well.
