Program Description
Event Details
Naturalist and Master Gardener Jim Sirch will discuss the germination requirements for different species of plants native to our ecoregion and how to grow them from seed.
Under Jim's guidance, you will create a milk jug planter and sow it with a selection of native seeds to stratify over the winter and germinate in the spring. Seeds, planting mix, and other necessary materials will be provided.
Please bring a one-gallon plastic milk jug if you have one.
Jim Sirch is a trained Naturalist and President of the Connecticut Horticultural Society. He recently retired from the Yale Peabody Museum. Jim is a UConn Master Gardener and board member of his local land trust.
