In Person: Seed Sowing Workshop at Hidden Valley Nature Center

Come join the Wild Seed Project at the Hidden Valley Nature Center to learn about the diverse plants that grow here in Maine and their unique seed collection and seed sowing processes. In this workshop, Wild Seed Project staff will facilitate a hands-on exploration of the many steps of growing native plants from seed, and establishing diverse landscapes using seed-grown plants. This class will begin outside with a walk, identifying different plants in the area and demonstrating ecologically-responsible seed collecting practices for those plants. The second part of the workshop will move us inside, where we will all practice winter seed sowing, and talk through the best practices for keeping your seeds outside for the winter. Each participant will sow two pots of seeds; one to take home with them, and one to stay at HVNC to add to the plant diversity at this amazing community spot!
