January Program: Wintersowing Native Seeds
The Priory, Room 259, Dominican University, 7200 W. Division, River Forest, IL, 31245 Map
Come and put winter temperatures to good use as you learn how to sow seeds now for spring seedlings. Linda Walker will offer a hands-on workshop in wintersowing native seeds that need cold moist stratification to break their dormancy. Please bring washed plastic containers that have a top (e.g. salad clamshells, strawberry packages, deli containers, etc). We will have some soil and seeds to share, or bring your own. Be ready to get your hands dirty!
Linda Walker is a long-time Wild Ones of DuPage Member. Her extensive native gardens are often featured in yard tours; she is an Illinois Certified Perennial Specialist and now focuses on native plants. Her certified nursery, Linda's Loves Natives, is a wonderful resource for those who miss the spring sales of native plants. The proceeds all benefit non-profit work for youth social service projects in Myanmar.
Free and open to the public; no RSVP required. Children welcome (they always are).
