Winter sowing is an easy method of starting seeds outdoors during the winter in recycled containers, like plastic jugs, to help germinate seeds and works especially for native plants. Thanks to a generous donation of native seeds from University of Illinois Extension, everyone will be able to start their own native plant greenhouse.

Feel free to bring your own milk jugs, clear plastic salad containers and large clear plastic take-out containers and their lids. Supplies will be provided while they last.

This drop-in program is for all ages and does not require registration.
