WORKSHOPS-SOWING SEEDS FOR 2014
Sundays, March 16, 23 or 30, 2014 (more dates may be added if req'd) This has been a very popular workshop for the last two years. Even if you have come before, it is still worthwhile to come again too. Every session has sold out, and then some. We'll plant seeds, plan gardens and I'll dispense what I hope will be useful gardening advice. It's time to get started! Cost $40, which includes your choice of 10 packs of seeds, soil, pots and coffee. Cake if it is someone's birthday, maybe even if it isn't. You will leave with sufficient seeds and seedlings on the go to plant a good sized garden. These workshops take place in my large, unheated hoophouse, so come prepared for any eventuality. It may be hot, it may be cold. But...you will get dirty!
2-4 p.m.
