- FREE Seed Starting Workshop for Beginners
These cold winter months are the perfect time to be thinking about starting seeds indoors! While it will be a while before you can sow seeds directly into the ground, the time to start seeds indoors is right around the corner. Starting plants from seed is a satisfying and cost-effective way to grow vegetables, flowers and herbs for your garden. This workshop is for gardeners who want to start their own garden seedlings at home. You will learn about equipment, containers for indoor seed starting, soil and seed starting mixes, grow lights, planning and more! Diane Green is a certified organic farmer has been growing for market in Bonner County for over 30 years. She will be sharing tips and some basics for seed starting and seed selection for growing a north Idaho vegetable garden!
