Learn about the importance of native plants and the cold-moist stratification process that many native seeds need to grow! Using recycled materials, we will choose and sow native seeds in containers to take home and set outside for the remainder of the winter season. Come spring, the seeds will germinate at their own rate with little interference - ready to be planted soon after!
This is a really fun and low-pressure way to get your hands in some soil and add new native species to your garden - or start one. Bring a friend and make it an evening! All levels of green-thumb are welcome/encouraged.

This workshop is one of three happening at different locations the same week - provided by the Northwest Michigan Invasive Species Network (ISN).

Pressure’s pushing down on us, pressing down on you… Join us for an evening where storytellers tell true, first-person stories about a time in their lives that they were stressed out and feeling the heat.

Join GTCD and the Northwest Michigan Invasive Species Network to learn about the importance of native plants and the cold-moist stratification process. Using recycled materials, we will sow seeds in containers to set outside for the remainder of the winter season. Once spring comes, the seeds will germinate at their own rate with very little maintenance - ready to be planted in their new homes soon after!
