In Person: Seed Sowing Workshop at South Portland Public Library

Join Wild Seed Project at the South Portland Public Library for a seed saving and sowing event! We will focus on how to process and sow native perennial seeds to prepare them for winter. We will also learn about the diverse plants that grow here in Maine and their unique seed collection and seed sowing processes.

We’ll explore the library garden grounds (if weather allows) to identify native plants you may (or may not!) recognize and demonstrate ecologically-responsible seed collecting practices for those plants. Then participants will get to practice winter seed sowing themselves inside. Wild Seed Project staff will teach the best practices for keeping your seeds outside for the winter. Each participant will sow two pots of seeds! One to take home, and one to leave at the library, to expand the biodiversity around the community space.
